Perseid meteor shower
We're a fan of celestial events that can be seen with the naked eye. We've sat outside many a night watching for meteors. The sky where we live is bright with stars because there is virtually no light pollution. We set up our chaise lounges and watched for a good while last night. I would rate it at about a 4 out of 10 for the span that I was able to watch. I've seen better. After I went to bed M pulled out the DSLR and set up tripod shots for 30 second exposures. He tried about fifty times. He never did catch a meteor going by. He did get two shots of airplanes and took a picture of the most familiar constellation in the sky (if you live in the western hemisphere). Enjoy!
