Tourist trap in western arizona known as meteor city trading post. The original structure was built in 1938 with a dome structure being built in 1979 and the current dome being built in 1990 after a fire
Night, near full moon, 180 second exposure, protomatchines set to yellow.
Click on the image, because it's best BIG on BLACK!!!

The world's best preserved meteorite impact site, located in Northern Arizona, east of Flagstaff.
Thanks everybody for all the nice comments! The feedback is overwhelming.
Taken 7 Nov 22 with GoPro in RAW mode. While waiting for the start of the total lunar eclipse, I was hoping to catch a bright Taurid meteor. The characteristic multiple explosions and white color says this is a Taurid. Exposure 30s, iso 800. Meteor was probably -2 magnitude under a very bright full moon.
A much brighter Taurid occurred a bit later: www.flickr.com/photos/cloud_spirit/52489528085
Picture of the Day x 2
Hello World! After what's seems to be a lifetime, have finally moved into new home and got connected - has taken since April which is why I've hardly posted anything for past few months...and started new job as well for more complications.
Anyway, here now in Wiltshire - one of first pictures at new abode was of a meteor - hope this is first of many.....
Gloster Meteor WA591 takes off from RAF Fairford following the 2013 Royal International Air Tattoo. This aircraft is now based in California.
Aircraft: RAF Gloster Meteor T.7 WA591.
Location: RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire, UK.
Gloster Meteor F.8 VZ467 (G METE) at the 1999 Kemble Air Show, it was exported to Australia in 2000 becoming VH MBX, belonging to Temora Aviation now in RAAF marks as A77-851 in flying condition.
One from my archive and sadly no longer flying. Gloster Meteor night fighter variant delivered to the RAF in 1952, final flight at Buntingthorpe 5th January 2019. Flying at IWM Duxford 22 May 2011.
Interesting to note in these days of 30, 40 and even 50 Megapixel sensors this was taken with an 8.2 Mp camera.
I was taking some untracked long exposure landscape shots when this meteor flew over at a low angle. It got red hot, then burned up in the atmosphere.
I was only able to get one long meteor image before my lens dewed up. I was too lazy to put on my lens warmer.
8 (10 second) photographs stacked into one final image.
Image taken during our flying trip in Arizona, Nevada and California in May 2015. Taken from approximately 7500 feet altitude in a Cessna 172
At first glance, the most intense burst of meteors appeared to be 3-4 of them around 3:30 am, shortly before my two batteries ran out of power.
I don't have time to separate the meteors from the stars (and StarStaX has stopped working on my desktop PC), but you get the gist of it.
Next up: the Leonid meteor shower in November, then the Geminid meteor shower in December.
Not a meteor. It's a 2 1/2 inch solid shot cannon ball from the Civil War. My brother's and I each inherited one from our dad.
The Perseids meteor shower - the most popular meteor shower of the year - peaks this weekend!

It's Friday...
It's a holiday weekend...
and there is a meteor shower that may turn into a meteor storm tonight!
Here's a single frame look back on 8-12-13 during the Perseids Meteor Shower from Glacier Point in Yosemite.
In my attempt to capture some Leonids shower members, I managed to snag this bright non-member at 8:48PM over the north-northeast horizon.
While I did record a few Leonids, they were faint.
Spaceweather.com is reporting a potential brief surge in activity on Nov. 19th, producing an outburst of 50 to 200 meteors per hour. Its timing favors observers in the eastern half of North America, who should be alert for meteor activity this Saturday morning between 1:00 and 1:30 am EST.
Meteor Peak in the Alaska Range. It's one of the "little ones" in this region. I don't like this photo as much viewed small on mobile - but I'm posting it anyway. It's much better if you have a big screen and can pick out all the detailed bergschrunds, crevasses, icefalls, avalanche sloughs, and such. It makes me feel so incredibly tiny.
An "almost" throw away from my Milky Way session of yesterday morning, due to the clouds. I thought I'd post this because of the meteor pair on the far right. I've never seen a pair before, nor seen any come absolutely straight down. I'd like some more!
I visited this meteorite impact crater on the way back home from the trip to the Petrified Forrest. It was very windy that day, and keeping a hat on my head was almost impossible.
I must say that the crater made a huge impression on me - I never thought it was so vast.
A truly remarkable, unique place…
Thanks a lot for your views, comments and favs :-)
Shoofly Plant (Nicandra physalodes) seed pod cages at sunset. This is the most fascinating plant - in the Solanaceae (Nightshade) family with beautiful purple flowers and fabulous seeds that seem to be suspended in intricately veined "cages."
A couple of days beyond the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower, but a beautiful night. It was worth an all nighter and I am grateful that I could just observe while my camera took multiple 2 minute tracked images. Many of the most dramatic metors where outside of the cameras view, but I got to see them and they were magnificant.
A single meteor streaks across the sky at approximately 22 miles/second. The track of this meteor's points to the source, which is the Gemini constellation. This meteor shower shares an orbit with the asteroid (3200 Phaethon).
Geminids Meteor Shower.

Single meteor from the Perseid shower and the Milky Way over Alamosa, Colorado.
Shot from the Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado.
I couldn't wait to post this one. Dream shot. Mission accomplished. So pleased with it. The persied meteor shower and the Milky Way on a starry night on Pembrokeshire. That's me in the shot. You probably can't see the excited look on my face from there
A few Geminid Meteors from last evening - much more to process!
Tech Specs: Canon 6D using a Lensbaby Fisheye Lens and controlled with a ZWO AAP via BlueStacks, 60 second exposures at ISO 2000. Processed in Corel PaintshopPro. Image Date: December 13, 2021. Location: The Dark Side Observatory, Weatherly, PA, USA (Bortle Class 4).
Well, that wasn't the most successful perseid night I've ever had. I caught a (very) few on camera but all very feint behind clouds. This one at 2.24 a.m. this morning was the best but it's no more than a record shot I'm afraid. I may have a little more luck tonight and catch a few stragglers... Interesting to see the effect of light pollution on the clouds.
This should enlarge slightly so you can actually see the meteor!

Cropped down image from my 360 Camera Image that I took overnight to actually get a Time lapse video. Taken from our backyard in Benalla
On my flight home. I'm not sure if we were over New Mexico or Arizona at this point. Either way, nifty.
Update! My rad sister figured out its name and location: The Landsat Meteor Crater in AZ.
