Milky Way and Meteor with Jupiter

This photo represents my first attempt after deciding to focus (sic) my astrophotography efforts on wide field objects. I took this photo during a trip to Moab UT, where an extraordinary dark sky would be a great opportunity to try out my new Omegon MiniTrack LX2. I took several 30-second frames, but the one with the meteor stunned me. Also, I must say that I was rather pleased with the MiniTrack's technical performance. This photograph is an example of quite astounding results that can be obtained from minimal equipment.

 

Canon EOS 60Da with 24mm lens, f/1.4. 30 second guided exposure using Omegon MiniTrack LX2.
