The Perseids are coming!

This weekend is the peak of the Perseids meteor shower so I thought I'd share my last creation from 2016.
I set up two cameras both pointing north and northeast to capture as much of the sky as I could. I set my cameras and laid my sleeping bag down and fell asleep watching the sky fall above me.
I woke up around 4 am to a nauseating stench, as I came to my senses I realized it was a skunk, and that skunk was very nearby. As I laid there inside my bag I held as still as possible so as to not startle or piss of the skunk, pun intended. After 3 hours of laying still, or maybe more like 5 minutes, the smell subsided and I gathered the courage to peak my head out and found the coast was clear. I then laid back down and went to sleep for a few more hours all while my cameras we're still clicking away.
Around dawn I got up, packed up my gear, drove home and showered then headed off to work.
I counted the number of meteors I caught that morning and I counted around 130 meteors captured throughout the night!

That all said, who's heading out for the Perseids this weekend??

As for me, I'm heading to the Sawtooth's in Idaho with Hive account@jarvie. Oh what an adventure we have ahead of us this weekend. Surely we'll have some photos to share so stay tuned for those.

Here's a photo of where we're going.
