While the moon will interfere with most of the peak meteor shower viewing nights this year, there still are some times when you can catch the sky without excessive moonlight: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/07/110725-double-meteor-shower-sky-show-space-science-perseid-aquarid/?source=link_fb20110725doublemeteorshower

    On peak nights the moon will sadly be up most of the night, but at least peak falls on the weekend for the Perseid shower this year and the moon should at least help reduce/replace the glow of city light pollution with a nice blue-toned moonlit in the sky. Here's NASA's page on the Perseids (you might recognize the photographer heh): http://www.nasa.gov/connect/chat/perseids_2011.html

Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video) The Orionid Meteor Shower this year was a bit of a dud. I was shooting up at 11,000 feet in the White Mountains and ran my camera for about 4 hours, from 10:40pm Friday until 2:50am, well after the moon came up. To see how a much more active meteor shower looks, here's one of my Perseid Meteor Shower videos from the same location, displayed on the Discover Magazine blog, best viewed full screen: Perseids, Writ Large http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/08/25/perseids-writ-large/ I have a number of posts on my blog www.MyPhotoGuides.com * related to night shooting and timelapse videos. Here's one of the more recent ones building on those pasts posts: Create a Timelapse Video of a Meteor Shower http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-timelapse-video-of-meteor-shower.html I'm curious to see how an HD 720P video gets displayed on G+. I have a ton of timelapse footage that I haven't foun...
