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.

I was traveling through Arizona a few days ago – headed home after visiting my son and his wife in Phoenix. I took a little detour, just about 6 miles off I-40, near the eastern border of Arizona to visit the famous Meteor Crater.
It is truly impressive, especially when you consider it was caused by a direct hit from a relatively small meteor. The crater is about 550 feet deep and 4,000 feet across and was caused by a meteor not much bigger than a large house – only about 150 feet across. It’s scary to even contemplate what would happen if a fairly large meteor hit the Earth – I’m afraid it would be a catastrophic event! I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
One thing that shows the size of the crater is when you consider that I was standing on the edge, using a 14mm lens, and I still couldn’t get the whole thing into the photo!
For this HDR image, I started with 7 bracketed images and used Photomatix Pro to combine them.
Taken with a Nikon D700, using the Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 lens.

This will probably be my last post for a few weeks as we are off on a cruise to the Mediterranean with friends. As many of my regular Flickr friends will know I love watching and photographing meteors and the best one for England is the annual Perseid shower. Whilst it is showing now, the peak will come over the night of 12/13 August but the forecast for my part of England (Sussex) is for cloud cover for the rest of the week. Aaargh! So I set up the camera on a tripod and set the intervalometer overnight in the hope I may get something last night. It was still rather cloudy so out of 400+ images, only two showed meteors and only in this one (at 04.00hrs) is it vaguely visible (top right hand corner). Hmmm, disappointing but here's hoping the forecast is wrong and the skies will clear. Thanks for all the recent support and make sure you all behave yourselves whilst I'm away! Tom
Perseids Meteor Shower 2022. A single shot taken from my backyard.
I got this photo with two meteors, and one shooting star just passed over the Mars. You can see the Pleiades, or the Seven Sisters Stars too.
The Geminids are considered one of the best meteor showers every year because the individual meteors are bright, and the peak can see meteors stream across the sky at rates as high as 120 meteors an hour and in this year this number increased to 150+
Dark predawn scene over the Catalina mountains above Tucson is a great setting to capture meteors. Venus is rising on far right just clearing the landscape for brightness comparison showing it is a fireball. Partial image on left of smoke trail that lasted 20+ seconds as a bright trail and another 2 minutes or so as a faint trail as the ionization cooled. The smoke trail results from the extreme heat and pressure that destroys the meteoroid that fades quickly as it cools.
Image captured with Nikon Z7II and Nikon 20 mm F1.8 lens
The 2025 Lyrids were nice, captured quite a few meteors including at least three (and counting as I look at all cameras) bright examples.
The meteor is a bit faint in this shot, but it's there slicing through the image horizontally in about the middle. I've brightened the image a bit in post. This is one of the images in the AuroraDance timelapse. I particularly enjoyed watching how quickly it moved and how often the little "sprites" bloomed and glowed then dimmed. There are definitely bluish tinged lights here which I believe implies interaction with sunlight higher in the atmosphere.
See the whole sequence as a timelapse here.

The Delta Aquariid meteor shower on the evening of 29 July 2016.This version includes 4 bright meteors that I captured over the course of about 3 hrs.
Also visible in this image are the southern Milky Way (including the Southern Cross and Pointers) and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (which are satellite galaxies of the Milky Way),
I believe I've recorded a rare meteor whose radiant is usually very inactive. However,
This early December —which sees moonless night skies—could see a surprise meteor shower produce about 200 “shooting stars” at its peak. It’s not been active for many decades, but a paper* claims that the Andromedid meteor shower could impress in 2023. Known for spectacular outbursts in 1872 and 1885—when it produced thousands of meteors per hour—the Andromedids are predicted to bring “moderate to strong” activity in 2023 and 2036 and “observers should be alert.”
Although this meteor appears faint, I accidentally used an iso of only 200. Usually I use an iso between 1250 to 3200. I'd estimate this meteor was at least 0 magnitude. They are very slow moving and are often yellow in color.

A meteor passing in front of the Milky Way during the Perseid Meteor shower, August 12, 2016. Nikon D800, 15mm, 60 sec. f/4 ISO 6400].
Perseid Meteor Shower at Trillium Lake Friday morning, August 13, 2010.
I took 360, 30 second exposures to get this one shot. This is an aggregate of the meteors that fell in three hours last night.
Exposure - 30 seconds x 360 exposures
Aperture - f/2.8
Focal Length - 11 mm
ISO Speed - 2000
Basically - This shot was created by taking 360 exposures and then taking the shots that had meteor's in them out and layering them over each other and masking and merging them into the lower layer. I did each layer one at a time.
This shot did not take into consideration the rotation of Earth during the three hours that I was shooting, thus the lack of a common point of origin. I have since compensated using a time/rotation adjustment and recompiled the layers into this image HERE.
My wife, son and I went out at 2:30 this morning to watch the Perseids. This was the only photo worth showing from about 65 that I took.
Another shot of the Night on the Albula Pass in Switzerland at a altitude of 2312 m. On the right side a falling star crosses the sky. A street through the snowy mountains can be seen. Clouds are illuminated by St. Moritz which are located behind the mountains of the Alps (left side).
What a long night!!!! I am so tired! Went out about 1 am and went back in at about 4:30. Really disappointed by my first meteor shower photo op!! I don't know if its because we are too close to Chicago, but we did not see that many, and only caught two with the camera. Of course about 1 hour in there was a HUGE one that was out of camera range that got me all psyched about getting a really good one! Oh well!! Better look at this one big so you don't miss the little meteor!!

mucking about on Lindisfarne last saturday with my rgb stick - not one of my better attempts but the bonus of a Quadrantid Meteor in the back ground makes up for i
A full super moon obscured all but the brightest meteors from this years Gemini shower. The moon was so bright that I shot at ISO 100 to keep from overexposing the photo. The meteor in the lower left 3rd of the frame happened a little after 1 am. Two lens flares are in the lower middle. Clouds moved in shortly after for the rest of the morning.
Another 'painting' from the rusted wall. Makes me think of a meteor shower or shooting stars (time to make a wish).
Lightning and a meteor. This is a blend of two photos taken about a minute and a half apart. DSC_8308a
By far the brightest meteor I've ever seen with my own eyes and just fortunate my camera was pointing in the right direction at the time while on Brancaster beach in Norfolk ( UK ) This one taken on the 12/8/15. Let's hope we get some clear skies again soon before the Perseids disappear for another year.
