Tic Toc
Here is my photograph!
I managed to photograph one of the Aurigid meteors this morning. Here is a small version of the photograph. I observed 4 meteors between the hours of 4:30am PDT to 5:00am PDT. It's so exciting knowing I'm one of the first to ever photograph this! I'm sure there are better than mine, but I'm all atwitter over it! Whooo hoooo!!! Taken from Belfair, WA.
