The best viewing for the Perseid meteor shower this year was a couple of weeks earlier than the shower's peak, because of the moon phase. Luckily, this timeframe coincided with the peak of the lesser-known Delta Aquarid meteor shower in late July. I camped out on Mystic Beach along the west coast to get a good view of the show. I saw some quick 'n' bright fireballs, and my camera caught several faint ones. Make a wish! (Or two, if you can find the really faint one!)

I took several long exposure shots of the night sky during the peak of the Eta Aquarids meteor shower, which happens every year around this time, thanks to the debris from Halley's Comet. Though I didn't see a single meteor with my naked (or bespectacled!) eyes that night, my camera's sensor caught many, often two or three in a single exposure. This one showed the longest meteor trail. Make a wish!
