Perseids meteor shower in 30 seconds. Iā€™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!

Just saw a meteor (possibly ??) while stargazing, absolutely stunning - for a brief second it was brighter than any other star in the sky. I wish I'd set up a camera or something, but it was probably good that I was looking at it not through a camera - hoping there's more in the next few days!!

The annual meteor streams, the "Perseids", reach their maximum tonight.

View direction to the north, area of Polaris, Cassiopeia (sky W) and Big Dipper.

A great spectacle in the sky when there are few or no clouds.

Will also be seen over the next few days. šŸ˜ƒ

The open source astronomy, compass app 'Trail Sense' (F-Droid) helps to find them.

More info on the open source Messenger [Matrix] in the Astronomy Room. šŸ˜ƒ

It took me a while but I managed to get a Perseids meteor on camera! I didn't see this one with my own eyes, but clearly my camera caught it. It's hard to see in the expansive star field but there is a streak in the sky at the center of the bottom third of the picture. (28mm f/1.8 ISO 640 15 seconds)

Worked a few stations ~1000mi away using MSK144 meteor scatter on 6m. Fun way to combine and interests!

@AmyZenunim Last night I went to photograph the . I took 420 photos, all except 13 were 30s exposures back to back (almost 4 hours). I have 88 satellite streaks that I can see at first hand, but some of them are faint ones I discovered while zooming on the 12Mpx images. Also 11 plane streaks, and only 8 meteorites and 4 probable. Just look at that, 3 satellites and one meteorite :(((

Last night when I went to look for Perseids at about 1 a.m., I saw a large, irregular, reddish object cross the sky from ~N to S. It took a couple of seconds to pass behind my house. Could it have been a Perseid? I've only seen them in the past as bright pinpoints lasting for less than a second or so. It was far too large to be a satellite, too fast to be a plane and the light & shape was totally wrong anyway. Large, lumpy. Reddish glow, not lights.

Perseid showers
Not bringers of May flowers
Just bright shooting stars.
