Perseids meteor shower in 30 seconds. Iโ€™m really proud of the Python I wrote to turn my security camera videos into this.

Ooh, while we were on vacation my backyard camera caught the shower on the night of Aug 13! Unfortunately the camera isn't all that expensive and creates an artifact where fast-moving meteors look like dashed lines, but it's fun that I can compile a timelapse like this!

Highlights of the Perseids meteor shower this weekend. There is still time to view the meteors for the next night or before they fade away. Some of the meteors I saw were brilliant and left long distant trails. Best viewing time in my experience is shortly after the sky turns inky black through 2am. Look toward the NE and 1/2 way up to the overhead skies.

So tired today. But itโ€™s the Perseid meteor showers week and I set my alarm for about 3:45 am so I can sit on the deck and be in awe with the night sky.

Went out the last two nights to watch the but have only seen a handful of meteors and maybe 3-4 decent ones in Class 4 skies. A little underwhelming. Fingers crossed for clear skies and a good show tonight.

What has been your experience?

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Perseus rises in the east at roughly 10 p.m. local time, but the peak of the meteor shower lasts the entire night. The best time to catch the most meteors is in the wee hours of Sunday morning, before the sun rises.

The are a result of Earth plowing through debris shed from Comet 109/P Swift-Tuttle, whichย is roughly 30-kilometres in diameter. It last swung by Earth in 1992, and while it has come relatively close to the planet in the past, it's important to note that it poses no danger to us.ย
