Perseids Peak Tonight: How to Photograph the Sky’s Brightest Show
TL;DR
The Perseids meteor shower peaks tonight for observers across the Northern Hemisphere, with NASA noting up to about 100 meteors per hour under dark skies, and the shower continuing through Aug. 24. For photographers, experts advise treating it like a time-lapse opportunity: use a wide-angle lens, a sturdy tripod, and a remote release for long exposures to capture meteor streaks, while seeking very dark locations and planning scenes in advance. Guides from PetaPixel and PhotoPills emphasize location, planning, and patience to maximize photo opportunities.
