Details:
This Perseids meteor streak was captured at 2:20 AM, Saturday, August 11, 2012. I prudently photographed the sky one night before peak night because of the potential for cloudy conditions early on Sunday morning--which indeed happened. This image looks NE over the back roof of our house. The moon was minutes away from peeking up along the roof line. The Pleiades star cluster is seen at center bottom.
