Perseid Meteor Shower 2020

The peak time for the perseid meteor shower was the 12/13 August. Unfortunately the weather forecast of overcast skies proved to be accurate. 

However, on the evening of the 11th August, after taking just 8 frames, I caught this meteor! 

Perseid Meteor The Perseid meteors are caused by debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle burning up upon entering the earth’s atmosphere. They are named after the constellation Perseus as they appear to radiate from the same direction in the sky as Perseus
