About this image

This is a cropped video of a bright Perseid meteor I captured on 13 August 2025 at 01:08 UT. I also captured a picture of it and observed it visually and it was one of the best Perseids of the evening. It passed through the head of the constellation of Draco. In the video the meteor can be seen terminating within that asterism. The green train left by the meteor can also be seen lasting a few seconds. The bright star to the left of the meteor, near the edge of frame, is Deneb in Cygnus.
