Crescent Moon Set and Perseid Meteors
Moonbeams, Milky Way and meteors! From the first few minutes my camera was running on the peak night of the Perseid meteor shower.
I'll have some time-lapse footage available shortly.
It is typical and expected to see and capture non-Perseid meteors in these types of shots. In addition to the Perseids, there were also meteors coming from the North delta Aquarids, South delta Aquarids, South Iota Aquarids, Piscis Austrinids, alpha Capricornids and sigma Capricornids, kappa Cygnids, all active on the same night. And those are just the active pre-identified showers with radiant points named and located on the Starwalk app; there are also sporadic meteors, with no named radiant.
