Description

One from the archives!

Taken during a magical stay at the Mauna Kea Observatory (Hawaii) in 2004. From memory it was a 20-minute exposure using a Nikon FM2 SLR, 28mm lens on Elitechrome 200 film on a static tripod. I didn't see the meteor at the time as I was probably concentrating on the equipment and only discovered it when I got home and had the film processed. 

The left-hand telescope is the 8-metre Subaru Telescope. On the right are the twin 10-metre Keck Telescopes.

A truly wonderful place to observe the sky.
