August 13th – Celestial Pole Over the House

The Perseids peak had already passed, but the sky was better so I decided to set up the trusty Canon XTi and see if I could catch some meteors.  This time instead of pointing the camera straight up, I decided to frame the top of the house to provide some reference.

Out of the over 120 shots taken, a sequence of 30 frames were without clouds obscuring the stars.  This was a perfect opportunity to mark the celestial pole by adding the images without alignment.
