Perseid Meteor passes near Andromeda Galaxy

The shower was not as spectacular as I'd hoped, although reports around the world suggest it was pretty good. We must have a lot of light pollution even in a rural sky that it was not dark enough to see many of the faint ones but only the occasional bright one like this. In the two hours I was out taking photographs I saw only about a dozen or more of these. But, something is better than nothing. Of course I didn't record any of the best ones. Always happens.
