Dear Friends -
It's that time of year again - November's annual Leonid Meteor shower... Free, in your own backyard!
More details here: http://www.space.com/spacewatch/041112_leonid_meteors.html
FYI, the photo in my yahoo id profile is a pic of a Leonide Meteor bolide i took a couple of years ago. Meteor shower photography is fun and easy, a matter of point and snooze - open the shutter and just keep it open until you've seen a meteor or three..
love and peace,
joyce
