We were lucky last night to have clear skies around midnight, so we spent some time on the patio looking for Perseid meteors. We took over 500 photos, and fortunately — it’s very difficult to photograph meteors — managed to catch a couple, of which this is the best.
The picture has been lightly processed to darken the sky, but the vivid green colour is accurate. The group of stars at the top is the double cluster in Perseus.
We took the picture with a Canon 7D and a 50mm lens at F2.2. Exposure was 5 seconds at ISO1600.
