Description

I was hoping for a storm like everyone else, but all I got was a drizzle.  I composited all of the meteors taken over a 3.15 hour period onto a single image.  I also stacked the 378 images taken to try and tease out something interesting from the background.  LBN 1122 and LDN 1778 in the lower center of the image are visible.  The red nebula at the very bottom of the image is part of LBN 30 in Ophiuchus.
