Description
To purchase this image as an exclusive limited edition print, please click HEREEvery year, in mid-August, the Perseids meteor shower hits its peak. One can look to the sky and see 80 or more meteors per hour. I'm lucky enough to live in an area that still has some dark sky left, so I set off for Rocky Mountain National Park to document this amazing event. In this image you can see two Perseid meteors on each side of the milky way, which was particularly bright this night, due to an early moonset.

How long of an exposure do you have to have for something like this? I've heard of film plates being used for science study of meteor showers, but how do you get your photos of this?

Very good work.

August is amazing with its meteor showers. We look heavenward and enjoy also, but have never captured anything as noteworthy as what you shared here.

I won't lie, the meteors didn't really register much with me, but this is an absolutely gorgeous picture of the Milky Way! Wish my camera could take pictures like that.

I highly recommend Great Basin National Park for night sky shots, but this is, as always, incredibly beautiful and impeccably executed.

Awesome shot! I watched the Perseids from my backyard and this was probably the first year I've actually been able to see them without it being cloudy.
