This image is a snap of Perseid meteor shower in 2010. Unfortunately it was partially clouded night, but I could observe about 50 meteors per hour in a break in the clouds. You can see a Perseid meteor with -2nd magnitude appeared just above Polaris on 25:11. A plus mark in the image indicates the radiant point of Perseid.
