A Perseid meteor
streaks above the Big Dipper to the north on the morning of August 13,
2016. The shower was quite spectacular, as we viewed and
photographed the event from
the Cascade Mountains in central Oregon. The above image also
shows the green airglow
that was seen with the unaided eye as well. We estimated
there were 2 - 4 meteors
per minute after the moon set around 1 AM.
