Hi All,

Here is my 3 night movie of the 2009 Perseid Meteor Shower.

The file is too large to post here, so here is a link to the Youtube video of it.

Astronomy Magazine has it on there website as well.

Click below for the movie!

You will see the Moon rise 3 times, as well as Mars, Capella, and Venus.

I captured these meteors from the night of the 11th to the morning of the 14th of August 2009.

I also ended the shower movie with the brightest Perseid fireball from the 9th of August.

I will attach the single fieball image as well.

I just love UFOCapture!!!....I was away on family vacation during the shower and set the camera up to shoot for 3 consecutive nights, while I was gone.

Hi John
Thank you for sharing the results .
That is really nice capture, and beautiful composite.

In our experience, Taurids may be more beautiful (there are many bright fireballs),
and Geminids will show much stronger concentration (hundreds to one thousand in one night).
Be careful about the HDD free space .
Enjoy!
