Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks in 10 Days!


Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks in 10 Days!
It gets stronger every night as the peak approaches; look to the northeast.  The moon sets just after midnight tonight if you want to check its activity tonight under optimal viewing conditions.  Here's a time-lapse video I made from several nights shooting the Perseid meteor shower last year: http://youtu.be/vTXA5gYWtXs?list=PL6012D9822C1BA1E7

Perseid Meteor Shower Composite, 2013
I'm still working on my images from the Camelopardalid meteor shower last night.  So in the meantime to kill some time while last night's images process, I produced this composite image showing 40 meteors from 4 hours of the Perseid meteor shower early in the morning of August 12, 2013.

These meteors appear in my time-lapse video of the 2013 Perseid Meteor shower on YouTube: Perseid Meteor Shower 2013

Here's the rest of my Astrophotography album on G+ so far:

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+.
