Milky Way August 2015

It was supposed to a "good" viewing night for the Perseids meteor shower.  But, this is all I was able to capture.  I did not see one meteor that night.  I was using a new location for the shots but it was not very good because of the Hamilton light pollution.  Besides with the bad knees, I kept loosing my balance.  It is difficult to walk around in the pitch black with wonky knees.  So I packed it up and headed home.  Next time I will go to my "proven" spots.    I was using the 10.5mm lens, that is why the curve.   This is about a 170 degree view of the SW sky.   (Aug 2015)
