we layed in the field last night for three hours watching as they were coming in at 120,000 miles per hour all green and red too, wow
(green cos they burn iron) not sure about the red but we laid in the field for three hours shooting the shower and watching dust fly to earth that had existed since the big bang, now aint that something ?
It doesn't look spectacular but it was a very bright Perseid, and the best of a few I captured. I was hampered by the rolling clouds, again!
I managed to spot 8 Perseids in about 90 minutes.
My first attempt at photographing stars as last night was the peak of the Perseid Meteor shower over the UK. It was a clear night on the south coast and I was lucky enough to see loads of meteors ... capturing them in a photograph, however, proved much harder. This was the best result of the night's shooting.

Information about the Perseid meteor shower in Malaysia last night from 11.00pm to 2.00am. Unfortunately very cloudy, but so lucky that i'm managed capture at least one from total of 100 meteors per hour across the sky...hahaha...make a wish :_)
I went out to the Borrego Badlands to watch the the perseid meteor shower. I saw lots of bright, long meteors but unfortunately very few fell into frame. I managed to catch three in this composition. This is a composite of a still image with light painting on the mud hills with metoers cloned in from 3 sebssequent exposures.
These two fotos are the best of 3 meteors I caught Tuesday morning.
30 sec, f3.5, 18mm,3200 ISO, SOOC.
Elevation 6300 ft in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.
Accidentally caught this perseid heading for the Milky Way. I realize they are millions of miles apart but thought it looked cool.
This is a stacked photo. I wanted to represent all the meteors I photographed on the Perseid Meteor Shower, which peaks in two weeks.
Bei durchschauen hab ich dieses "besondere" BIld entdeckt. Sieht so aus als wenn 2 Sternschnuppen aufeinander zufliegen, haben sich aber leider nicht getroffen

I made this image from 10 photos. I adjusted each frame, aligning the stars then cutting out each meteor to keep the radiant in the same place. (the radiant is the point in the sky where the meteors appear to come from, it moves with the stars throughout the night because of Earths rotation) One of the shots had 2 meteors, so there are 11 meteors in total. I shot this on the night of the 10th, into the early morning. The peak is coming in the next few days. I'm hoping for clear skies, though tonight (the 11th) isn't looking too promising.
This shot was taken at the River Birch golf course, at about 3:30am. I had set the camera up for a time lapse at 3:00, and took a nap on the very nice green of hole #7. When I got home I noticed a meteor in this frame, after spending hours out the other night chasing those little critters (meteors)...

This ones for you, Gary. Took this one early this morning, too. I added five notes. This should clear it up. If you look at the Original version, you'll even see the tiny dipper shape of the Pleiades.
Also, have a look at this link:

and double click the diagram across from Sunday, August 11th. My shot looks just like it ... even has a meteor. :-)
Happy Slider Sunday !
Abit grainy but a 3 image stack. What was surprising is how the position changed in 24 hours. It was in a completely different part of the sky last night !

Stumbled out of bed at 3:30 to get some meteors. This is not the easiest kind of photography. I gave myself a better chance by using the wide angle, but you almost have to have a fireball to get anything of note. Tonight should be better if the clouds will cooperate....
Edit: The clouds didn't cooperate :-0
What a long night!!!! I am so tired! Went out about 1 am and went back in at about 4:30. Really disappointed by my first meteor shower photo op!! I don't know if its because we are too close to Chicago, but we did not see that many, and only caught two with the camera. Of course about 1 hour in there was a HUGE one that was out of camera range that got me all psyched about getting a really good one! Oh well!! Better look at this one big so you don't miss the little meteor!!
Perseids from 14,000ft
After my workshop for the Colorado Photography Festival at Mount Evans I setup facing Denver for dramatic effect shortly after midnight. I only captured 8 meteors this year.
I used my new D600 with a Sigma 15mm fisheye (fixed the distortion in Lightroom) ISO 6400, 30 seconds, f/2.8

It may not look it from the image, but this is one of two fireballs I was able to capture during the 2018 Perseid meteor shower peak weekend. This was a longer lived green fireball, but you wouldn't know it by the photo. That's just how hard these things were to capture in the challenging atmospheric conditions we had over the weekend in Northern Illinois -- high haze from Canadian forest fires and high humidity, as well as a high dew point from the surrounding farm fields. This image has been heavily-edited to remove as much of that haze and reflected light pollution as possible. And, contrary to how it looks in the image, the meteor was moving left to right.
Side note: The streak in the upper right is a satellite.
Perseid Meteor Shower over Pine Mountain Lake
Set the camera out last night and let it run from midnight to dawn. Found the frames that had meteors in them and combined them in this stacked image. I rotated each frame to match the star pattern of the background layer to compensate for the rotation of the earth. Demonstrates how the meteor shower originates in the constellation of Perseus. It doesn't show up well here, but each of the large meteors start off with a green hue and ends with a slight red hue
