On August 11th and 12th, there was the Perseide meteor shower. On the 11th, Clint, Alex and I drove down to San Carlos to try and witness it.

The first night we really didn't see much, although we did agree we saw more that night than on a regular night. After talking a lot about stuff, we left.

Well... I mean evening. Alex and I decided to try it again on the 12th. We drove quite a ways to try to find a good spot, as most of the Bay Area was covered in fog.

Looks like we weren't the only ones out.... note the long streak in the sky. It's a plane.
OMG! DID YOU SEE IT??

Look closely.... ... BTW, the brightest star in this picture (lower right hand) is Mars.
There it is...

I quickly discovered how ill-suited my camera was to take meteor shots. I mean it took it... but it was so dim I had to fix it up in Photoshop. Oh well, at least I got one on film!
