| Camelopardalids smoke trail - Click to enlarge! 8 frames each at ISO 800, 6.2mm, f/2.7, 15 sec Canon PowerShot A3100 IS (Point and Shoot) |
I took the shots above from my balcony in Brownsburg, Indiana on May 24, 2014 at 12:04am. Each frame is a 15 second exposure (there were only 8 frames from the point and shoot because it has longer processing time). The smoke trail was visible for roughly 2 minutes based on the camera timestamps. I had no idea they stuck around that long!
Images are cropped from their original size. Here is a single frame straight out of the camera (below).

If, I may make a suggestion, let the folks on EarthSky know when you have beautiful photos. I think the would put them on the site. They are very kind. Be well, keep gazing, and taking the lovely photos! Cordially, Virginia
