The 2015 Perseids were predicted to be great, largely thanks to Mother Nature turning off its night-light (aka our Moon).  Unfortunately the weather wasn’t as cooperative…  With clouds over the horizon I knew my window to try to capture some Perseids was quickly vanishing.  Nevertheless I setup my camera on a tripod and hoped for the best.

The best I got was 13 shots without clouds.  A quick scan of them did not reveal any notable meteor streak.  But it wasn’t all a waste.  I was able to process, align and stack them to provide a good 60deg field of view around the zenith.
