First Perseid meteor of the night
On 08/12/2024 01:34 am by Catherine Hyde| Shandon, CA USA
This is a Perseid meteor bursting over the dark-sky hills near my observatory in Shandon, CA, where there are essentially no artificial lights at all. I used a 180-degree fisheye all-sky camera to image the whole sky in each shot.
This was taken with a Starlight Xpress Occulus all-sky camera and basically nothing else. Just a monopod lashed to an upright rail of the structure that holds the solar panels outside my observatory.
Not much. Stretched and sharpened slightly.
