Some night sky pics from lubbock, TX

Well my roommates are gone for the winter break and im stuck up here in lubbock. I decided to try and get some meteor shower pics tonight again, but once again i failed. I only saw one tonight in two hours, usually ill see about 5 or 6.

anyways heres the pics










Ive decided that im gonna order a remote for the XT. i need bulb mode but having to hold down the button is blurring the pictures ever so slightly. These were taken with 30 second exposure time.

yeah that seems to be the only visible star system for me. The last picture was supposed to be of the airport field with the blue lights but an 18 wheeler passed by while i was taking the picture and added alot of light to the picture.

im guessing it was either clouds or a fog rolling through. i was in a valley to try and esacpe the ambient light of the city over 20 miles away. it would come and go so i doubt it was anything cool like an aurora.

Just curious, predictions said it could come as far South as the Texas Panhandle, it is something I have never seen other than pictures.
