The Milky Way from Melbourne, Australia

I just returned from a great trip back home to Melbourne, Australia. Dad and I spent a night out at a nearby mountain range called the Dandenongs, at a spot I had read about that is used by local astronomers. It was superb. The Milky Way was exceptionally bright with Scorpio right overhead! The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds were easily visible, and I could clear see, naked eye, the Omega Centauri globular cluster. We explored the sky with his binoculars (very nice William Optics 10*50 model!) and I took a few snaps. This is the best Milky Way shot from that night out, which is a 20 second exposure taken at F4, ISO2500 with my Nikon D7000 and Sigma 10-20mm EXII HSM set to 10mm. The camera was pointing straight up!

Lyrids

I took the kids out for a meteor shower watch this past Saturday night, April 23rd, to watch the Lyrid shower. It was very quiet. In the three hours that we were out there (two of which my kids were soundly asleep wrapped in blankets under the stars), I saw a total of two meteors. Not too brilliant. One was particularly bright, and is featured in the photo below. It's an ordinary photo, shot using my Sigma 10-20mm HSM lens set to 11mm to capture a big swatch of sky. ISO800, F4, 30 second exposure.

This photo was actually used by the Los Angeles Times in their Lyrid meteor shower write-up, so I'm pretty chuffed with that! Article here.

The full result of my two hours of star trails is below. Can you find both meteors in it????
