Clearing skies reveal the arrival of Perseids meteor shower.
The annual meteor shower known as the Perseids occurred over the weekend, and despite poor weather forecasts, some astrophotographers managed to make the most of the event. One such astrophotographer is Max Bulenda, who captured a spectacular photo of a yellow-green meteor during the shower.
Max Bulenda, an enthusiast of astrophotography, set out on the night of Friday to Saturday to photograph the meteor shower. The event captivated astrophotographers from the region, and Max was no exception. Initially, he had skepticism about the weather, but he was determined to capture the celestial spectacle.
Max travelled to Königsbach to photograph the meteor shower. The Perseids, pronounced "Perse-ids", have a distinct maximum of meteors around the 12th of August. Some gaps opened up in the sky during Max's photography session, providing the perfect opportunity to capture the meteor.
In his photo, the Andromeda Galaxy is visible, according to Max's statement. The Perseids meteors have a high speed, with some reaching the brightness of Venus as fireballs. Max's photo showcases this brilliant display, with the yellow-green meteor streaking across the night sky against the backdrop of the galaxy.

To capture high-quality images of the Perseids meteor shower during poor weather forecasts, astrophotographers should focus on flexibility, preparation, and using techniques that maximize opportunities even with suboptimal conditions. Some key tips include being flexible with timing and location, choosing locations with the darkest skies available, using sturdy tripods and wide-angle lenses, making manual camera adjustments, automating shooting sessions, managing condensation and humidity, planning around moonlight, and keeping extra power and storage on hand.
Adaptability is crucial: aim for the best available clear skies before or after peak, use automation for efficiency, manage environmental challenges like moisture and moonlight, and prepare to shoot from dark sites or suitable urban shadows when weather limits ideal conditions.
