I've been spending my time (because I have nothing *but* time) honing my astrophotography skills. This week's adventure was the quadrantid shower which is notoriously brief, just a few hours, so I got out there early, pointed my camera at the right place in the sky and set it to take 10 second shots with a 500ms delay between each. This went on from 3:40-5:40AM. Sony A6000, 18mm lens at f/3.5.
