Summary

[edit]
Description My son and I went out to look for meteors at Stover's Point Preserve in Harpswell, Maine. This location is a curved sandy point and while there is a bit of light along the horizon it is a great place to view stars. The Milky Way was easily visible. We saw a number of streaking meteors but I only managed to capture two. I think the B&W shots show them up the best but all four are here (see "Other versions" below). In this one the Milky Way is also visible. I left the lights from houses at the bottom and they are reflected off the water. This is facing south. There appear to be two short trails near the bottom.
