Delta Aquirids Meteor Shower Attempt July 30, 2022

I stayed up late to photograph the Delta Aquirids Meteor Shower and apparently photographed an airplane.  I tried using a flashlight to light up the trees with my new used 2.8 20 mm lens.  I combined two photos that showed the same plane streaking across the sky to make this photo with the Milky Way.  I wasn't quite sure which direction to look in.   Photographed at ISO 2000 for 5 seconds.

Tau Herculids Meteor Shower May 31, 2022

I stayed up to look for a few meteors.   The night was quite pleasant with a soft breeze in St. Mary's County.   Having no idea where to point my wide angle lens, I was taking a photo when I noticed a bright meteor a little more over to my left.  It wasn't in the frame, unfortunately.  Fortunately, it was close to the Milky Way, and that would make a nice photo.  So, I moved the camera over and took some more photos.  I didn't see any more, although I thought I saw some out of my peripheral vision.  After looking at the back of my camera today, I could barely make out a small meteor just above the trees to the left of center in one photo.  I don't do much night photography, so I don't own a good wide bright lens for thousands of dollars, so I just tried it out with what I have and the stars blurred a little.

For photo geeks here were my settings ISO 2000 21 mm f/6.3 30 seconds
