Perseid through the Heart Nebula
Fujifilm X-T10, Samyang 135mm f/2.0 @ f2.0, ISO 1600, 47 x 60 sec, tracking with iOptron SkyTracker Pro, stacking with DeepSkyStacker, editing in GIMP, taken Sept. 3 under Bortle 3/4 skies.
I saw a few meteors as I was imaging this one, and was excited to find that I'd caught a small Perseid shooting through the Heart Nebula on one of my frames. The placement of the meteor is uncannily similar that of this APOD by Roger Clark, which is one of those inspirational astroimages that has stuck with me: apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap160905.html
