Milky Way Sunday, August 11, 2013 Video

This is one frame from the 181-image time lapse video shown below. This is the only frame that I believe captured a Perseid meteor since the streak only appears in this one frame, not the ones before or after. The other objects moving though the video are likely airplanes or an Iridium satellite.

The lake in Sunapee. You can see Mount Sunapee just to the left of center. This image was taken at 10:15 pm August 11, 2013.

You may have to trigger the video several times for it to buffer fully so it will play completely. It is 6 seconds long, down from a bit over an hour of real time. You can click the icon at the lower right to see it full frame, though the quality will be lower.
