StarTrails
Star Trails and Perseid Meteor Shower.
Several hours worth of photos stacked together show many Perseids Meteors despite the moon glow across the sky. Finally went through the 940 pictures I took that evening to find the ones with meteors. Unfortunately, you can also see quite a few airplane trails throughout the sky as we were right in the distant flight path for Raleigh Airport.
A lot of stretching on some of the images and I was able to find a bunch more, but they were too faint to see with the moon shining in the sky and even the camera barely picked them up. There were several really nice ones throughout the evening, but they were few and far between. Luckily I had the camera going the whole time and was able to capture most of the brighter ones.
Nikon D7000
Rokinon 14mm f/2.8
8 sec exposures, ISO 1600
