back in eastbluff i decided to try out my D850 on the perseids on 8/11/20. an extremely bright meteor streaked like lighting across the sky as i set up my camera at round 10 or 11 pm...only caught one with the camera over the next 3 hours:

| close up |
image details:
8/11/20, eastbluff, CA
nikon D850
Sigma 15mm F/5 EX DG fisheye
30 sec, iso 200
focusing the D850 with live view zoomed in and super high iso was a joy, giving tight stars on close up (though distorted by the fisheye) compared to the D60
this contrasts with my dark sky neowise images with twice the aperture and 100x greater ISO. the image would be solid white if i tried that under polluted skies.
WOW!
