Category Archives: Meteor

This weekend the meteor shower known as the Perseids peaked. I was out two nights in a row and took about 300 photos. The conditions were not that good, and I only caught two meteors.

Tonight the Draconid meteor shower peaked, the meteors radiating from a point just next to the star Beta Draconis in the constellation Draco. It was stronger than normal, so I decided to defy the nearly full Moon and try to catch my first meteor.
