Hey 2T, Are you sure that fireball wasn't just a backfire from that VW you tear up CT's country roads in? Here is a cool shot with constellations added on! Great for spotting stars on the real sky rather than a chart in a book, IMHO!

Incidentally you'll notice some movement of the landscape as the camera was mounted on a motor drive to follow the rotation of the earth...trees don't move that much!APOD ROCKS!

Thanks, you guys!

I agree with you. Have you got a link for more of these real sky photos?
