window to Perseus
him who saved Andromeda from the sea monster Cetus. Yes they got married and yes, Mythology is beautiful.
You probably already know, but if you don't, Perseid doesn't really have to do anything with the constellation Perseus and it's only used to identify the radiant of this meteor shower.
Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle last visited the inner solar system in 1992 and it will take another 133 years to complete its orbit around the sun.
Every year we have the chance to observe the spectacle of Earth passing through the debris left behind by this comet and sometimes it's just awesome, sometimes not so much, weather depending :)
This week we were not that lucky in the central-eastern part of the US with clouds, scattered showers and thunderstorms spread all over.
I skeptically checked Clear Outside around 8 and realized that there might be a small chance for a short window to see the sky so I grabbed my gear and got to Hueston Woods just after the sunset.
I was able to take 30 sec shots for about 120 minutes before the clouds kicked me out of the park. There was quite a spectacle for a few minutes and I was even able to capture a few meteors with my 14mm despite the class 4 bortle location, looking towards the light polluted Dayton.
I used a tracker for the light shots blended with 6 stacked foreground shots. My first time playing with this, so be gentle, please ;)
Oh, I forgot. I love Milky Way too.
