meteorite shower 12th August 2007

Sunday the 12th was menat to be the best night to see the meteorite shower, which had started on the thursday 9th. best place was meant to the cairngorms, the visitor centre was doing tours for 25.00 a head, which i refused to pay and plus the cloud cover wasnt worth it if we had paid.

Paul and I went up last night (sunday) to Braemar after umming and arring to where could be the best place for us! after sitting up in glen shee near the ski slope we moved a s the mist had fallen and we couldnt see in front of us!

We seen 18 shooting stars and 10 satelites, it wa slovely but the weather could have so much better, w e had a huge square clear patch with stars, unfortunalety the shooting stars were shooting of either side of the view i had with my camera and when i moved the camera they shot the other way, typical altough i did get a pic of the stars movemnet, i had heard of this at college but didnt believe it till i captured it myself
and was chuffed to bits.

On the way home Paul had done an emergency stop in the car to find a stag standing next to us
and again by the time i farted ABOUT GETTING THE CAMERA THE STAG HAD BEEN STARTLED WITH ANOTHER CAR
not my night!!!!!!

leaving u with some pics i did capture
