Perseids Meteor Shower 2010 Timelapse Compilation - 3 Clips

Compilation of 3 overnight timelapse clips of the 2010 Perseid Meteor Shower, shot in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. These three shoots were done over a two-night period. The first clip is not altered - it was done with a true 185 degree hemispherical lens, showing the horizon on all sides. The second clip is a version of that same shoot, with the horizon stretched out to always sit on the bottom of the frame. The final clip is a standard extreme fisheye lens, with the horizon showing only in the corners. Airplane trails are evident, but meteoroids are also present, though perhaps not as bright as one would generally think. You just need to look for them. The music is Puccini's Nessun Dorma, sung by Sarah Brightman. Though it was written for the male voice, I really prefer to hear a woman singing any opera, so that's my conscious choice. So there. Enjoy!

Well, I'm glad you at least liked the video! :-D

This year, you do have to be up from about 2:00 on, because the Moon will be disturbingly bright before that time. I'm also hearing that this year's show isn't as good as previous years, so don't be too disappointed if you don't see much. We're still hopeful about the Leonids, peaking on November 17th!

Video of the shower is excellent how totally spoilt by Sarah Brightman butchering Nessun Dorma. There is a reason Puccini wrote it for a tenor and not a soprano - because soprano's can't sing it! She is not even a very good soprano and this rendition is just painful. Such a shame because putting it with Pavarotti singing it would have been fantastic.
