Andromeda Galaxy and Perseid

[MarkS]

Last night, here in France, a Perseid went straight through one of my 5 minute subs of M31.

Usual setup: modified Canon 350D on Tak Epsilon 180ED.

Here is the 5 minute sub:

Why am I not surprised 

You really should do the Lottery

I'm very sorry to hear that Mark, you must be absolutely devastated 

[Fay]

I am sure the other 30 will be ok Mark!

Mark,

Are you sure it wasn't the other way around
"And as I was tracking a Perseid meteor, to my dismay, a nearby galaxy passed through the background, spoiling, what I thought was an excellent shot of the meteor"

Nice Green one Mark, you and your lucky camera again!

That looks great for 1 x 5 min sub, how many did you take in total?

I've got 60 x 5min so far.  But the Perseid has wrecked one - so call it 59.

I actually saw the meteor go through - in fact 2 in very quick succession - with parallel paths.  I'm hoping Thursday night will be clear - I'll leave a camera running all night with a lens.

Mark,

I think if you capture enough of the Perseids' you should be able to sigma combine out the galaxy.

P.S. Sorry non-imagers you probably don't get that joke.

[Fay]

not sure it would handle something s big, strong & obvious , Not Spacedog Anymore

Fay,

There's me sitting here looking at your post and wondering what you're on... then I looked at one of your other posts and realised it was ... SHOPPING

Mark,  You will burn out the core with 5 mins on the yellow beast, combine it with shorter exposures.  Ooops sorry you're trying to capture Persieds aren't you... try pointing at the radiant and you'll get a better hit rate

Already done!

I meant big strong & obvious as M31 is. It does not sort out my aircraft streaks if they are too big or bright with more than one line
