The Lyrid Meteor Shower was a Bust

in ,

I think I photographed more airplanes than meteors last weekend. I was using my f2.0 16mm Rokinon lens on a Nikon D5300 for this shoot. A Hoya Red Intensifier filter was used to cut the local light pollution.

I had the ISO at 3200, which I think was way too high for these 25 second time exposures. I had to give these images a good bit of Lightroom love. On my next shoot, I'll try test shots at ISO 1600 and 800 when I set up.

The Rokinon 16mm is proving to be a solid, wide-angle astrophotography lens.
