This image has composed several Perseids meteor shots taken on Aug 10 to 11, 2013. The Perseids meteor shower in this year was blessed with fairly good conditions including moonage, unfortunately it was bad weather in a night of its maximum. But I could appreciate about 20 meteors in hourly rate in this night. You can see four Perseids meteors in this image flowing from the radiant point at left side of the Milky Way.
