Last night was the peak for the annual Perseid Meteor Shower.  I ventured out into the parking lot with my camera, tripod and 50mm f1.8 lens.  After almost 3 hours, and 275 shots, these are what I ended up with …

This spectacular show will be visible until August 24th, with 70-80 meteors per hour.  Look to the  north-northeast after midnight, just below Cassiopeia and you will find the constellation of Perseus.  This is where a good portion of the meteors will seem to originate from.  The darker the area, the better (obviously), but I was shooting in a well-lit parking lot with decent results.

Grab a lawn chair & a blanket, and enjoy!
