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 @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.
