Skies should be clear tonight in Jackson. I'll be out somewhere in the GTNP area.

The activity from Friday night didn't seem to be that spectacular. There were a few throughout the night, and fewer were cooperating with where the camera was pointed.





I was almost more fascinated with watching the headlamps on Middle and Teewinot throughout the night.

That would have made a fun timelapse.

I didn't have that kind of patience. A friend that was with me did though, and made this.

Very nice! No luck for me. Mostly cloudy the whole week. I was up at 4.20am on the 13th but didnt catch any. A few out the corner of my eye but nothing on cam.

Had good luck over Santa Barbara once the moon set. A light marine layer did its best to filter the city lights below. Overall, it was the best meteor shower I've ever seen. A few that came across the sky were so vibrant they looked fake.

This is a single frame shot at 13 seconds with a 50mm.
