Perseid Meteor

• Location: Tinytown, CO
• Date: August 12, 2013
• Kevin Scofield Blog
• Description: Gave it a shot last night (3 am this morning) We hiked up to the "Sky Deck" located on the mountain that shadows our property. It was not a good night for photography as we had some low level clouds that moved in around 4am and ruined my night sky. Clouds tend to glow as opposed to a nice "black" sky. We did however log some 40 or so meteors and 4 or 5 satellites, unfortunately no fire balls!
  A single meteor captured in photo... The globes were caused by long exposure lens flare. Image was captured looking towards the East/North East and using a 14mm lens at f3.5 on a Canon D7 with a 25 second exposure...
