Went out to play last night, first time doing any astro.
Nothing near the 50-60-100 / hour that was being suggested, although I did probably see about that many in the course of the entire night (I stayed out till 5:00 AM). Capturing them however, is an entirely different matter. Unfortunately, I had a "communication error" occur with my f/2.8 glass, and was restricted to using f/4 glass.
I can't begin to tell how many times the shutter went "clunk" only to have one appear two seconds later.  That, and they ranged far and wide in both latitude and azimuth, so which portion of the sky to shoot was never "target rich" so to say. I probably had about four smaller "direct hits" that I should have captured (timing / location), but @ f/4, ISO 3200 the dim ones weren't bright enough to record well. I do have one other that might have some possibilities.
Will need reworked to learn the nuance of astro pp, but thought I'd post it to share.
