The Perseids Meteor Showers are tonight
Here's the calendar www.seasky.org/astronomy/astronomy-calendar-2011.html
and here's a shot I got last year.
Canon XSi, 50mm at 1.8, 20 sec and ISO 1600 for this one (then a little contrast boost). Going to try some other settings tonight.
Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Note: I once recommended using a NASA photo of stars for a background and was reprimanded for it. We can share and use NASA pics anyway we like. We paid for 'em!
