I set up my camera last night hoping to get a few Perseids. This one shot across the sky behind my back. I didn't see it, but the camera did!

Photo details: Canon 450D, 20mm wide angle lens, 25 seconds

Here are two bright Perseid fireballs that fell during a spike in activity between 1:30 and 2:30 o'clock MDT on August 12, 2009.

The first one (Perseid 47) is a 30-sec exposure taken at 1:48 am MDT. The second one (Perseid 94 - the brightest of the night) was captured at 2:14 am MDT. Both were taken with a Fuji Finepix Pro S2 digital camera set at ISO 400 with a 16 mm wide angle lens at f2.8.

Gotcha! The distinctive colour change as the meteor comes through the atmosphere can clearly be seen here as well as a pair of terminal bursts as the Perseid meteoroid finally meets its end.

High in the California Sierra Nevada Mountains the sky is spectacular. Even with the moonlight, the Perseids were visible to the north. In this super wide field photo, the Milky Way provides a dramatic backdrop for the Perseids. This 90 second exposure captures the landscape as if were daylight and brings out the beautiful night sky. The Perseid in this photo was one of the nights best and brightest displays.
