List,
Went out about 9 last night to watch the Perseids. Got to see some
fantastic orange colored very fast meteors go over. We only had a few
clouds but nothing to obscure viewing. Then came the moon. Once it
was almost south of us, that was it for the shower. I was all stoked
to go

Glad to hear that many of you were able to enjoy the show.
I spent three days up in the White Mountains, east of Bishop, CA, near the
Nevada border. The area is home to the Bristlecone Pines - the oldest
living things, at up

A few people have commented privately about the length of exposure of the image.
I know Dave was using an equatorial mount for his camera. I don't know the
particulars, but my guess is that he made one image of the dome and then
