The Perseids
meteors can put on a good show, but to capture good images you need
to be at a dark sky viewing site. This image shows what light polution
can do to your Perseid meteor images.

| This image is of a Perseids meteor taken in Aug 96. Unfortunately my location is such that the Perseids meteors often appear in the sky glow of Washington DC. August is generally a month of high humidity and haze in the Northern Virginia area, so I'm going to move my imaging of the Perseids to a dark site location to have much success. | Focal Ratio: f3.5 | ||
