Martin Marthadinata wrote from Malang, East Java, Indonesia, on August 12, 2018: “Hi EarthSky, I have captured the beautiful Perseid meteor shower over Mount Arjuno-Welirang. This is my first time I shoot fireball with great condition clear sky.” Nikon D5000 18mm ISO 3200 f3,5 25″ Single exposure. Congratulations, Martin! Beautiful shot …
Abhijit Patil caught this green Perseid against a green aurora over Maine, on the morning of August 12, 2018. He wrote: “Living in New England, finding dark skies has been a challenge. We drove 350 miles to northern Maine, near Baxter State Park. Little did I know that the camera would not only pick up Perseids, but also I could, for the first time ever in my life, witness and capture the aurora borealis! The auroras and the Perseids, a super natural phenomenon, which we captured not only in camera but in our memories.” Nikon D750 Lens – Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 wide angle lens. Tripod – Vanguard Alta Pro. Thank you, Abhijit! By the way … do you all recognize the star pattern just above the rim of the horizon?
The Perseid meteor shower is relatively fleeting. Meanwhile, the planet Mars has been exceptionally bright since early July, and will stay bright through early September. Here are the Milky Way, Mt. Rainier, Mars and a Perseid meteor from our friend Night Sky Chaser on Facebook.
Perseid meteor, planet Mars, Milky Way from April Singer in New Mexico.
Veteran meteor observer Eliot Herman in Tucson, Arizona, had a very different experience. He wrote: “Grumble! Stayed up moving my camera around looking for gaps in clouds … got one Perseid. It is the monsoon season here, making Perseid photography difficult.” Nikon D850 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0.
James Younger caught this Perseid meteor Friday night from near Victoria, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
Bottom line: Photographs of 2018 Perseid meteors by EarthSky friends.
