Animation of #perseid #meteor shower over the Netherlands in the night of 10 - 11 August 2023, created in #qgis with #opendata from the #globalmeteornetwork downloaded from https://tammojan.github.io/meteormap site by @tammojan. See https://youtu.be/-MpdsqbQsYY if you want to create this yourself.

Second update: Clouds cleared so I took some more photos. This one is definitely a Perseid meteor. Alas, right at the edge of the frame, and teensy, and my focus was off, and it's marred by clouds, but I'll take it.

@yanncphoto So what do you think of this one?

Update: actually it's just a satellite. :( See thread.

Well, I can't say I'm any great shakes at astrophotography, but I did manage to see 3 Perseid meteors and photograph 2, despite clouds, light pollution, and camera fumbles. I'll put this is the successfully documented category, but it's not a great photo. 35mm (very cropped) 15 sec., f1.4, ISO 200.

Just caught a #ShootingStar on photo while watching the #Perseid meteor shower. #shotoniPhone

For those in the southern USA right now (12 Aug 12am CDT) trying to see the #perseid #meteor shower, first look for #Cameleopardalis (the #giraffe) in the NNE, then find the #supergiant #star CE-Camelopardis (aka HD21389) which marks his tail, then look down a bit...

Yes, the #perseids are coming out of the giraffe's butt.

#Perseus is probably a bit annoyed by his meteors taking this route, but the giraffe didn't get installed until 1613.

We took the car, drove north for 40 minutes, took a mega-creepy field/wood lane, parked between two fields, and did some splendid #stargazing / #Perseid -hunting. It's amazing how much Nothing there is to be had, just a short drive away from #London.
