You can get moonrise times via this custom sunset calendar. As seen from around the world, the waning crescent moon will rise later on August 12 than on August 11, and, on the morning of August 13, although you're slightly past the peak, the moon will rise later still. On any of those mornings, moonlight shouldn't be so overwhelming as to ruin the show. Plus the moon on those mornings will be near the bright planets Venus and Jupiter in the eastern predawn sky. It'll be a beautiful early morning scene. The Perseids are typically fast and bright meteors. They radiate from a point in the constellation Perseus the Hero. You don't need to know Perseus to watch the shower because the meteors appear in all parts of the sky. The Perseids are considered by many people to be the year's best shower, and often peak at 50 or more meteors per hour in a dark sky. The Perseids tend to strengthen in number as late night ...

Fooling around with my 50mm lens I got a fair line up of some good stuff. First, the Pleiades make an introduction, followed quickly by Jupiter and one of it's moons, then Our own neighborly Moon, followed by Venus and a Perseid Meteor or two who didn't want to be left out. I got some trailing from the stars and so might try again tonight and drop the shutter release down to 15 seconds...also maybe up the F/stop a lil to compromise on the planetary lighting versus stars. It's fun to play around and see what you get. August 13, 2012 12:30 am - 4:00 am Canon T3i 50mm Lens 20 second Shutter f/3.5 ISO 1600
