Details:

I imaged 3 small Perseid Meteors in a single 30 sec. RAW frame. I used a Canon 16mm to 24mm f2.8 lens. Setting to 16mm ISO 800 / 30 seconds with Canon 5D MarkIII. I cropped this image so you can see the 3 meteors better. I also put another single cropped image from the same night that has 2 small meteors. I am happy I got something. Something is better then nothing. :-) Kind Regards Philip Smith

I see two, colorful Perseids issuing from the shower radiant, and a third, colorless streak in the Hyades of Taurus that may be a meteor, or an artificial satellite flare (possibly Iridium). Nice catch getting two Perseids in one shot!

I saw all 3 meteors with my own eyes flash across the sky as I was imaging. I did not set up and go inside to sleep. It is NOT an Iridium flare in my image. Iridium flares are slow moving and start off dim and slowly get brighter and the go dim again. What I saw 3 fast slashes in the same area I set my camera to image. They are 3 meteors in this images. Thanks for your thoughts.
