Beautiful video on there, just a marvel IMO.

All the best and thanks Barry.

Thought i had tonight off but it didn't work out. Ah well, my wife might have a look. On the west coast the radiant is below the horizon so not ideal - but skies are actually clear!

Hmm... There's a big hill on the south side of my house, might have to find a better location if the sky stays clear.

A view East wins over south the further west one is. Longest ones will be overhead, perpendicular to the radiant.. that should be cool if the storm develops!

Looks like a bust in Western British Columbia.

I started an ƒ/1.4 exposure, pointed just north of Orion, with a 60° field of view, at 8:40 PST, and let it run for just over an hour (Live Composite).

Besides lovely star trails, I captured a couple airliners and exactly one meteor!

Did anyone see a greater frequency of meteors? It was cloudy where I was

Hi, the news I read said there was an increase in meteors, but not nearly what was predicted.
