A composite of 12 meteors and one satellite from the Aug 12 shower. Location was the Empire Ranch near Sonoita, AZ. 12 images stacked, made from 14mm f2.8 15 sec ISO 800 under a 95% full moon.
This is the first time I've photographed the Orionid meteor shower- mostly I've focused on the Perseids and Geminids. The very dark sky above Capitol Reef National Park provided a compelling setting for this attempt. The meteor streaks were compiled from 425 photos taken between 2 and 6 am, using the intervalometer on my camera. Of the 13 meteor streaks I recorded only 7 were bright enough to include in the final photo. The weather was cold and windy, but seeing that brilliant sky made it worth the pain. I was surprised the colors in the streaks were very similar to the Perseids, suggesting similar chemical composition in the comet dust responsible for both meteor showers.
I will be away from Flickr for the next week, and apologize for not faving and commenting on your photos, but I look forward to catching back up on my return.

Metéora (em grego: "meio do céu") é um dos maiores e mais importantes complexos de mosteiros do Cristianismo Oriental, superado apenas pelo Monte Ato]. Os seis mosteiros foram construídos sobre pilares de rocha de arenito, na região noroeste da planície da Tessália, próximo ao rio Peneu e às montanhas Pindo, na Grécia central. A cidade mais próxima é Kalabáka.
O maior pico em que se localiza um mosteiro tem 549 metros. O menor, 305 metros.
I had seen photos of these, so when we decided to go to Greece, I made sure we added it to the itinerary. I was so glad we did. What awesome sights they were. I posted my favorite shot of one of these monsters/nunneries back in September, but loved this one too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteora
Last night I tried again to get a few shots of the Milky Way over the Hennepin Canal at Lock 11 just north of Tiskilwa, IL. This shot was taken just a few minutes before 1 o'clock this morning when a meteor just happened to streak through the Milky Way right near the galactic center. Of course the shot was pure luck. My camera's shutter just happened to be open for a 15 second exposure.
Despite the almost full moon I managed to capture this meteor and the constellation of Orion , the nebula is visible.

A meteor that was a football field wide hit this mountain range 300 million years ago. The impact of the meteor blasted a bowl in the mountains. The great flat valley that was created, this crater, would become a good place in Appalachia for the modern city of Middlesboro, Kentucky.
I'm glad I wasn't here 50,000 years ago... Such a beautiful sight of nature today... Looking over the edge, it seems to want to pull us in...
I was in the National Park of Cabañeros, Castilla la Mancha,Spain, taking pictures of the milky way, this day, on 05/24/14 had meteor shower, and i was very lucky because i was taking a perfect picture of the milky way when a meteor crossed and lit the Sky.
This is the result.

Here's another take of the Perseids Meteor Shower. This one is from the very early morning hours, which explains the blue color in the sky.
I didn't include this meteor in the composite I posted earlier as it wouldn't blend very well without a lot of alteration and I really liked how the single meteor plays here. You will also notice that both Mars and the Milky Way had moved well out of the frame at this point.
I hope you all got to see some meteors this year, it was a fabulous show!
The Perseid meteor shower peaks every year between August 11th and the 13th. This year was ideal with the moon setting before midnight and the sky washed clear by an earlier passing front. Around 2AM on the morning of August 12th an unexpected display of the auroras began and lasted for over an hour and a half. Switching gears from meteors to aurora, I was very fortunate to capture a bright Perseid meteor with the auroral display.

Rather cloudy last night for the quadrantid meteor shower, although a short break around 4.00 am enabled me to snap this one.
From a meadow near Heart Lake on the White River Plateau, at 10,000 feet, I set up the tripod and camera and let the intervalometer do its work. In slightly over two hours it collected 452 star shots, each 15 sec long and from those I picked the 10 best shots containing meteor trails. I used four shots stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker to set the sky. Then layer masks in Photoshop dropped the 10 meteor trails onto the image of the night sky.
The Andromeda Galaxy is visible near the top of the photo, and if Andromeda is the center of a clock, a smaller galaxy is visible nearby at 4 o'clock. The Pleiades is the bright cluster just above the trees on the right. The meteors radiate from the constellation, in the Milky Way at the center of the photo.
At higher resolution one can see that most meteors start glowing green and then change to white, yellow or red.
