Perseid Meteor Shower

[MattyW]

I wasn't intending to shoot on this evening, but at about 11pm the cloud opened up and the sky clarity was pretty great from home, so I spent about 90 minutes in the back garden watching a really good display of meteors. Hindsight makes me wish I had taken a drive out, given how clear the sky was, but c'est la vie.
Composited in order to stack the meteors - compiled from a few shots from the night.

Thanks for looking

Well done, out of interest what lens and shutter speed did you used. Looks like you got some of the MW in as well

Thanks, 20s exposures on a Zeiss 21mm lens. Yes, MW was showing, I was surprised how clearly it was visible by eye considering I was only out in the garden.
