wow, nice photo, William.....I heard this was the time for some really great viewings of meteor showers...I doubt we can see them here because it's very smoky from forrest fires....Tori #641901

Tori, Vickie and Colleen, thank you very much for the initial comments. Forrest fires there? I hope you there are all safe. #4194791

A very simple, elegant way to "view" the latest natural phenomenon when weather doesn't permit. Nice work, William! #4195094

Very nice and imaginative image William! I am about to attempt to view the showers here in Florida about 3AM. Hope I see something as nice as your photo! :) #4195731

Thank you everybody for participating the imagination. I appreciate all the comments. The answer to the "how" will appear in one of my photo in the near future. Meanwhile, try to guess if you want. :D #4205724

Congrats on your finalist! My son and I went out that night to view the showers but we didn't see much! We should have just stayed in and looked at your image! :) #4361332

William88 June 06, 2007

LOL. thank you for the message. I think we will have another chance to view pretty soon this year. Stay tuned. Last year, with clear sky, I have seen only 10 shooting stars in 3 hours. Hopefully I can set new record this year. #4373376

Carol Teal June 07, 2007

That sounds about like our experience this time William! I do believe there are some showers that occur in August, so I will be watching for the time and date. And, if we have such dismal results again, you will have to be ready with a new photo for us to view! :) #4375087

I will suggest the camera design team to invent motion activate exposure circuit plus multi-exposure capability. Ha, sounds like a day dream. #4394095
