Perseids 2427
My friends/family and I had planned a day(??)trip to the high desert for peak Perseids meteor shower viewing but were thwarted by clouds. So, we gave it a go the next day - clear and crisp all night long, lots of oohs and aaahs.
This is my single-frame fave from 8 hours' shooting time, two cameras, for a couple of reasons. The northern end of the Milky Way shines over those Joshua Tree NP boulders, and then of course there's the meteor - has some nice color in it. Just natural light on those boulders, by the way. Check it large for a good look at the color in that meteor. Andromeda Galaxy way to the lower right there too.
