Perseid Meteors – 2011
by Mike Hankey, under Comets & Meteors
I imaged the Perseid Meteor Shower three nights this week capturing an average of four meteors each night. Here are the best two from the peak night. Both are fairly large, bright and long.

I think this one may be a small fireball. You can see Cassiopeia in the shot for reference.
