Startrail & bright meteor Copyright: Paolo Demaria
In this startrail captured from Bellino (Cn), Italy, I captured a bright meteor, which leaves a 3 minutes tail, as visible in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0hwlw2rC4U
Perseida tras la cosecha.
Perseid meteor after harvest.
A Perseid meteor crosses the sky above the Pleiades and the Hyades, under the watchful eye of alpacas straw after the wheat harvest in the Cordoba Countryside. Andalusia, Spain.
Just after midnight on August 12, I captured more than 20 meteors, including a brilliant fireball, in about one and a half hours. They are all Perseid meteors, and each of them seems to be shooting toward the same point.

I'd like to point out that this anti-radiant effect is a consequence of using a wide angle lens, and where it was aimed. At this time, the radiant was above, so visually these meteors would generally be seen as diverging. However, since the radiant is behind the imager, we get the impression of convergence.
All meteor showers appear to diverge from their radiant, and converge on their anti-radiant, on the opposite side of the celestial sphere. Since the radiant is normally above the horizon, the anti-radiant is below it, and we seldom get a visual impression of convergence. This image shows that effect very nicely.

Actually, if the meteor trains are farther than 90 degrees away from the radiant, they will be closer to the anti-radiant and they will look like converging.

A mosaic of maximum of Perseid meteor shower from Ivan Dolac (Hvar island, Croatia) above peaks Začerbina and Gvozd. The image shows 79 meteors of Perseid meteor shower cought from 7th to 14th August 2013. The brightest meteor was about -8 magnitude.

100 estrellas fugaces fueron cazadas por la cámara durante tres noches, 11, 12 y 13 de Agosto 2013.
1800 fotografías de 30 segundos de exposición y 5 segundos de intervalo.
Tres noches con una temperatura agradable, en los alrededores de la Fuente "La Minguilla", Castro del Río, Campiña Cordobesa, en pleno Valle del Guadalquivir, en mitad de Andalucía, al sur de la Península Ibérica, España.
Algunos aviones y satélites artificiales se unieron a la lluvia de estrellas.
