I set up my camera Friday night to take a sequence of shots so I could make a composite all of the meteors I caught in the hour before the moon rise, but I only caught this one Perseid meteor. I still made a composite, since the best Milky Way was when I first set up and the meteor came later as the moon was rising, washing out the view of the Milky Way. So everything is exactly where it happened, but the meteor is time-shifted into this image from one hour earlier.
Thanks to +Angela Fritz of +Capital Weather Gang at the +Washington Post for blogging two of my other Perseid meteor shower photos over the weekend:
