Catch a falling star, view large on gray. As the night began to fade into twilight our visual meteor count passed 175. From a fun night under the stars with Jim/JP Hansen. N35347

    Thanks whateverdeal, Ted, Jordan, Jessica, Max, John, Ruud, PAk, Suzan, Darrell, Julien, Thomas, Charles, Alex, Dagny, and Aline.
    Ted hope you got out and caught some. This shower has a long duration, there were reports of 25/hour even two nights before...
    John and PAk - I was tempted to crop it square or tighter to make the meteor larger... but I liked the sense of scale the Milky-way gave the shot.
    Charles wish you could have been with us, hope you got out somewhere dark in AK and caught a few of your own too...
    Aline (via Google translate) Deveria ter sido visível a partir do Brasil, enquanto você poderia chegar a um céu escuro = Should have been visible from Brazil as long as you could get to a dark sky.
