Perseid Metoer Shower

With all the hype this week of the great Perseid Meteor shower that 2015 was to deliver I didn't want to miss out.  I headed out to the beach near Lake Erie after dark (about 10:30 pm), pointed my camera south then north.

First shot is over Lake Erie with the Port Bruce beacon flashing.  I was using an app for my camera to record a time lapse of the movement of stars.  The process took about 20 minutes taking about 100 separate images.  I didn't like the outcome so I grabbed a single image merge and worked with it.

The second shot was a little simpler; point the camera in the general direction of the milky way, focus (not easy in pitch black) and expose for 25 seconds.
