RE: Perseid meteor shower and night sky

in OCD4 years ago

You might have gotten three meteors, in your star trail photo there is what looks like a couple of meteors, although I guess they could be satellites. To overcast and not dark enough for us to see meteors on the twelfth.

Sort:  

Yeah, you're right, I took a look at all the 292 photos and found ~5 more, two are obvious in the star trail shot, there was another relatively bright one but the rest were really faint.

Ah, overcast, nothing can be done about that...

And not really dark enough yet here. A few stars were visible at midnight, but then I am getting into bed, by 5:30 am it is already to light to see any stars. About another month and then I hope to try to get some night shots before the bitter cold sets in.

yeah 5:30 is too bright for that, and even though you could see bright meteors in the the city with its light pollution, the experience is completely different when you're somewhere totally quiet and dark.
