We had terrible thunderstorms roll through. I figured the night would be a wash. But around 8:00pm, the sky started to clear. So we went home and set up the cameras. I set my interval timers for 1 minute, fired the D300, and when the shutter closed I fired off the D200. It was so cool sitting in the hot tub listening to my Nikons playing dueling cameras as it were.

By the time the battery in the D200 died, it had taken 90 exposures. The lens on the D300 fogged up, so I turned it off, cleared it, then turned it back on. I ended the night with 82 exposures on the D300. I haven't had a chance to go through them yet, but I will tonight.

While I don't know how many, if any meteors I captured, we saw several. The first one we saw (while setting up the cameras) was incredibly bright (-4 or -5 magnitude) and came out of the sky near the Little Dipper. It streaked across the sky fairly slowly for a Persied, and it covered about 45 - 50 degrees of the sky. It was incredible. We saw several more bright ones, and I hope I captured a few of them.
