Description
Canon 50DTamron 10-24mm wide angle
Got lucky with this shot one night when *Nebraskies and I went out to do star trails. I ended up not doing star trails. I was too fascinated with the milky way
This is a 10mm frame, so that meteor on the left was much larger in person. Then of course the Milky Way in the middle over the house, and the moon on the right sinking into the light pollution. All in all, a pretty cool scene 
Please tell me what you think!

Amazing photo and really magical atmosphere! Question: is the Milky way visible with the eye?? I mean..cause I never really saw it before XD

Thanks! Yes, it is. You have to be far enough away from light pollution to see it, but it's definitely visible

absolutely brilliant, to get all these different things in one photo is great and I've tried taking photos of the night sky, it's hard. Well done!

Love the house in the middle, though I can still see the details. Were it a complete silhouette, it would be perfect. Another point I want to make is the color transformation. It is brilliant. It's like there are 2 moons or the moon and the sun looking from outer space. The Milky way looks like the smoke coming out from the chimney 
..............That slice of light is still bothering me....
Anyway, great job. And I officially am jealous of you

Thank you very much. I thought the same thing about the meteor, however, I wouldn't consider it a flaw. After all, I can't control meteors. Heck, it's hard enough just to capture one. I know it's a meteor because meteors appear as quick flashes. Comets are more like slow glowing dust balls that gradually make their way across the sky over a long period of time. It was annoying how vertically situated that meteor was situated though

For crying out loud, it was a 30 second shot

Yeah, a 30 second shot and the meteor took up about half a second of it

So beautiful! I cannot believe how much light you've picked up! Nice work on this!

Thanks! I'll probably find another shot or two from this shoot to post

I love it. The house is so perfectly silhouetted against the sky. As for the light pollution... I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out. It's a great photo.

Thank you very much. Yeah, driving away from the light pollution was definitely worth it.

If it were ever dark enough around here, I'd have a similar picture up already.
Now instead of star trails (which are certainly awesome in their own right) you should do this as a time lapse image so we can watch the Milky Way and the moon move across the sky.

Next time we go out there I'll probably try that. That kind of thing is so cool, makes you feel really small
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Gotta love it. And you feel even smaller viewing it behind an ultra-wide.

I like this shot, I always wanted to catch a meteor on camera. Great job!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! It seems whenever I'm trying to catch meteors, I can't. The only time I've ever actually gotten any are by accident

Absolutely lovely! It's fantastic! I love it!!!

Nice shot! Despite the light pollution, it adds some nice colors to the scene

Thanks! Yeah, I thought so too.

40 mins though? What towns were those??
Still, I think the light pollution in this case adds a really nice effect to it all =]

Umm... Rogers, NE and North Bend, NE? Not 100% sure on that but somewhere in that area.
