I, in my Academy-award-winning role of walking icicle, have returned from the Great Outdoors (situated 6 m or so from the house) with what is hoped is film that will show more meteors than the one I took last year. (That should be no great accomplishment, as last year, I only recorded one streak.)
As I attempt to warm back up to something in the two-digit temperature range, I observe that what I saw was a pretty show, to be sure, but nothing to compare with last year's storm. Then again, last year I didn't have a full moon to contend with, either. (BTW, despite the math from earlier on, about how the moon is 93% full and all... my eyeballs were well and truly convinced the moon was just plain full. Heck, I could reset my timer by it.)
It's definitely late, and I'm sure to be among the first at the photo shop tomorrow. I'm interested in seeing how good this 1600 film is...
Cheers...
