Last night after a 4 hour drive across the state, I stepped out on to the back deck to give a listen for owls. With temperatures lingering in the mid-60's I decided to pull up a chair and crack open a beer and put some real effort into owling. After a few minutes as I was staring at the clear moonless sky, I remembered that the Orionid Meteor shower was near its modest 20/hour peak. So I grabbed the camera, cable release and tripod to do some serious multi-tasking.
This one was a Orionid (I rotated and cropped the photo for composition's sake).
