One of my best meteor showers - 66 in about 75 minutes. I was at 57 at the one-hour mark so averaging about 1/min.Here is a photo composite (4 images) taken with my 35mm lens. Instead of a wide angle lens to capture more meteors, I went with a larger aperture to capture more detail of one section of the sky. I got lucky and caught 6 or 7 meteors in the frame, 4 of which were good enough for this composition.https://www.dropbox.com/s/2kq9jjk9iz056vn/perseids-2015.jpg?dl=0 Streaky stars are from a 15 second exposure on a fixed tripod. Question - was that the zodiacal light I saw in the east, roughly pointing between Pollux and the Pleiades? It fit the description. I don't know if I have ever seen it so distinctly.

From my light polluted back yard down in Lindon, with fair-poor seeing, I counted 8 between 11:30 and 12:40 last night (when I wasn't looking through my scope), one of which streaked through the eyepiece while hunting M33 in the 90mm in last night's soup (I found it, barely). It was nice to be out alone, in the quiet with the crickets, and the stars overhead. /R _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
