Just for clarity, I don't have any scientific evidence that this--and my other picture--is actually a meteor. I do believe it is, but I'm not sure. That being said, please don't be angry if what I called it is false; and if anyone knows what it truthfully is (if I am wrong), please feel free to let me know!!
Here's my shot of the Perseid Meteor Shower 2015 radiant point. Shot this photo over a period of three nights, this photo contains 57 Perseid meteors. I shot this at Frosty Drew Observatory in Charlestown, Rhode Island, USA from midnight to 5:00 a.m. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

"The Meteor Rideau is a full-size automobile which was produced by Ford Motor Company of Canada under its Meteor brand. It was produced from 1954 until 1961 and from 1965 until 1976. It was named for the Rideau River, a river which drains into the Ottawa River in the Canadian capital, Ottawa."
Produced: 1954–1961, 1965–1976, at Oakville Assembly, Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

A firefly trail looking a bit like a meteor. This is a single frame from a timelapse, and once I post the time stack version, you'll see that there wasn't many fireflies, so this was a lucky catch. (also because I rarely catch them this high in the sky)
Perseids meteor shower is happening due to passage of Earth in the orbit of Comet swift - tuttle. This celestial fireworks occurred due to burning of comet debris in our atmosphere. It is the biggest meteor shower of the year. It can reach 60 meteor per hour. Image taken from Bortle sky 3 on 12/08/2021 @ 22:30.
Taken from Oxfordshire, UK on the night of the Perseids meteor shower peak. I had two Canon 1100D cameras running overnight, both fitted with the 18-55mm kit lens. This photo was taken with one I borrowed from my husband but I forgot to check the internal clock before I started shooting. Once I started reviewing the photos I realised the DSLR clock was 9 minutes fast so the exif data won't read exactly the right time. The time stamp in the title is corrected and is in UT, so BST-1.
This image was a 15 second exposure at ISO-1600 f/3.5.
Fifty [stacked] 30-sec exposures spanning approx. 25 min and showing Earth's rotation around the South Celestial Pole (SCP). Notice the meteor passing near the SCP and above Yepun (Venus in Mapuche), the fourth VLT Unit Telescope. The stacked image was then combined with the first frame in the sequence to produce the SCP-centered gradient effect. Photographed from the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) in Cerro Paranal, Chile.

I rushed off after work to get to some dark skies to shoot some meteors!
I got to our location later than I wanted but got the time-lapse going around 11pm. I captured about 30ish meteors in the time-lapse that I used to composte in to this photo. I time-shifted them to get meteors intersecting the starts that they burned through. This reveals the meteor shower's radiant in Gemini!
Overall it was a good show!
Not as nice as some, but still an interesting shot...It was getting pretty late and Orion was coming up...at least that is what my phone said...
After the media hyped it up, saying there was 30-1000 ?!? meteors per hour, we made a trip down south to scope it out. The fog and low cloud got the best of us and we got covered from our location, but there wasn't much star gazing. Though the clouds was interesting!
Did learn a lot about celestial navigation and I'm sure it will come in handy in the future,

Not 100% sure if this is a Perseid because the angle looks a bit steep, but it has the characteristic green tinge to the trail

Don’t miss this year’s Perseids! This big meteor shower will have its maximum on Tuesday and Wednesday. Look at the sky around midnight, or, in the best case, go to a dark place to have even better conditions! You can spot hundreds of meteors per hour.

Actually, I'm lying. This was on the hood of a car in a parking lot we saw this evening. It's just a sh*t picture. Bird poop art at its best :))
If you want to see the famous winter meteor shower it peaks overnight tonight (Dec. 13-14).
The Geminids are considered one of the best meteor showers every year because the individual meteors are bright, and they come fast and furious: This year, there will be more than 1 per minute, reaching 100 meteors per hour. The 2018 Geminid meteor shower comes with a bonus: a brilliant comet. The bright comet 46P/Wirtanen is also visible in the night sky with binoculars or a telescope and can be found in the constellation Orion. If your skies are clear and dark enough (no light pollution) you may be able to see it without the aid of a telescope.
Much better viewed large.
Perseid meteor shower at cherry spring state park. Stack of 20s exposure was used to extract the milky way. Meteors from all exposures were extracted and added.
This photo represents my first attempt after deciding to focus (sic) my astrophotography efforts on wide field objects. I took this photo during a trip to Moab UT, where an extraordinary dark sky would be a great opportunity to try out my new Omegon MiniTrack LX2. I took several 30-second frames, but the one with the meteor stunned me. Also, I must say that I was rather pleased with the MiniTrack's technical performance. This photograph is an example of quite astounding results that can be obtained from minimal equipment.

A meteor from the Perseid meteor shower.
Spend last nigh photographing Perseid meteor shower. But the northern lights were just way too powerful to get proper meteor shots.
This single photo seems to be the best one. The meteor here is just coming from behind the northern lights.
Meteors are great to photograph as they change color while burning away. Also the whole photo sessions feels a bit like fishing, you never know in advance that do you really get anything.
Finally got to use my Samsung 14mm F2.8 MF lens that I bought a long time ago just for this purpose (nightsky). It's actually not so perfect as the Internet says. It has some astigmatism full open and it's also hard to focus accurately (using A7RV focus zoom). The focus ring is also a bit too loose, it turns when fiddling with the camera or with the lens heater, or just when moving the heater cable aside. Maybe I should put some tape on it... Anyway, Samyang is a better for nightsky than Sony 20mm F1.8. 14mm is just about perfect focal length.
A7RV interval shooting is also convenient. No need to use intervalometer.

Meteor Crater lies at an elevation of about 1,740 m (5,710 ft) above sea level. It is about 1,200 m (3,900 ft) in diameter, some 170 m deep (570 ft), and is surrounded by a rim that rises 45 m (148 ft) above the surrounding plains.
The Perseids meteor shower, a yearly spectacle unfolding in mid-August, is renowned for its abundant shower of shooting stars. This phenomenon arises from Earth's passage through the remnants of the Swift-Tuttle comet. While this year held promise with favorable sky conditions and minimal lunar obstruction, an untimely dense canopy of clouds prematurely curtailed the celestial display.
Since my initial intention was to capture the river's path disappearing into the horizon, my photograph is oriented towards the southeast. For this reason, I wasn't able to capture many meteors.
And for the sake of truth, the above photo is a composite of about five photographs taken over a period of approximately 3 hours, all with the Nikon D850 at 19mm and at f/2.8, and for 25 second exposures at ISO 2500

A composite of 19 meteors my camera picked up in 8 hours of continuous shooting in the Taurid Meteor Shower on Nov. 4/2016. The green colour is from shining my headlamp down on the water.

Normally I like totally clear skies for star viewing, but I liked how this band of clouds sliced across the Milky Way. Plus, I got lucky with a well-placed meteor. (East Rosebud Canyon, Montana)
