Draconid Meteor Shower

Yeah right! So last night about 8:30PM Kelly and I drove a 1/4 mile up the lane to park up on a track between 2 cornfields to photograph the predicted 9PM peak Draconid Meteor Shower. After about an hour not a single meteor did we see. Loads of planes, Satelites and the Life Lion chopper from Hershey Med. In the photo you can easily make out Ursa Major (the Plough) and the pointers to Polaris (Pole Star) with the Draco constellation in the top left of the shot.
I've been a bit busy the last few weeks doing 'stuff' but I did find time earlier in the evening to capture fluffy little aloof Juno perched on my chair.
