Wow. Beautiful image!
You have to wonder on shots that fine - is it skill and experience (which
Jeremy has lots of) or persistence and luck...?

Very good capture, Howard. It looked that active here in Silver City,
NM last night, too!
For folks still interested in the Perseids, this page at Peter
Jenniskens' 'CAMS site at SETI may be of interest:

The top plot on the 'news blog' shows the number of Perseid _orbits_
determined _per_half_hour_ from Nick Moskovitz's two camera arrays (one on
Mars Hill, the other at the Discovery Channel Telescope). Obviously the
pre-dawn hours of Aug 12 was the time to be out.
