The time of the year is coming again!

Next week the Perseids meteor shower will be peaking with in the northern hemisphere at around 70 meteors per hour!
On August 13 the meteor shower will peak.

Here is where you can find the centre of the meteor shower.

I wrote an tutorial earlier about how to photograph the stars and the milky way.
You can find that tutorial here: How to photograph the stars and Milky Way

You can use these tips for photographing the Perseids meteor shower as well.
Just an extra tip:
Shoot like you are making a time lapse. Set the camera to full manual. Set the ISO and the aperture (as low as possible f number) and set the timer of your camera (if this is possible) to the exposure time you need. Take 2 - 5 seconds between each shot and let it run for an hour or so.

You will definitely get some meteors in your photos!
