The annual August Perseid meteor

In the Northern Hemisphere, the annual August Perseid meteor shower is probably the all-time favorite. This major shower takes place during Summer. No matter where you live in the USA you can see it. Best on a dark, moonless night, you can often see 50 or more meteors per hour. Moonlight will not obscure the Perseid meteors this year but clouds sure do. I think tomorrow morning is supposed to be the best viewing time. Look upward and get those cameras out and shooting, shooting stars!  Smiley Very Happy

Nice! In which direction are you shooting that image?

I am aimed South.  The 'metor' came from the North.  Later I saw several that appeared to be from more westerly.  Around 1:30 AM clouds started to prevent much further viewing which would have had a higher incidence.
