Perseid over Backlit Broken Top

            Another frame from the morning of August 12th, 2024. A Perseid meteor is caught in the act above Broken Top mountain in this view from Sparks Lake in Central Oregon. This image was cropped from a wider shot to better show the meteor and the mountain silhouette. At the time of this shot (2:23 a.m.), the aurora was pretty low-key compared to the couple of periods when it erupted into a stronger, more vivid display. Still, the colors, the scattered clouds, and the mirror-like reflection on the water added dazzling atmosphere to the scene.
