8/11/2021 All Sky Perseids

I took almost three and a half hours of one minute exposures starting at 10 PM or so Wednesday evening and let the camera run until it ran out. I caught a few Perseids but hoped for more. I guess meteor photography is more than just point the camera up. There are a few planes , those take more than one frame. The streaks that show up for a half second and then gone in the next frame are presumably meteors.

The camera was oriented such that south is at the bottom and the little arc of stars in the upper right is the handle of the Big Dipper.
