U should take Honeymoon to the Norway to see Northern Lights too! Imagine, meteor shower + milky way + northern lights for ur honeymoon! How amazing is that?
I saw this once accidentally. I was having a very bad week. Was Sittin in y balcony is August. Thinking about life and adoring this bright light in the middle of the sky. Every year when I go on holiday same place I look in the sky and I have not seen it for 3-4 years which led me to research and now I find out it happenes once in a while. Some memories never fade.
It's like a ballet, Jeff. What amazing work. I see you driving hither and dither trying to catch these amazing images. what a challenge you made for yourself and the result is stunning. Thank you.
Jeff, I genuinely appreciate your time and effort. You've provided the world a beautiful source of wonder, awe, joy, amazement here -- you selected and shared the best for us! It's gorgeous and mesmerizing. You've got me. I'm coming back again and again. Thank you.
Absolutely stunning clip mate ,like your editing style plus a moon rise through the clouds sublime! great job Jeff keep up the good work .Surely clips like this are the reason youtube was invented !
Prepare your acceptance speech, it starts with "Id like to thank the members of the academy"..Oscar winner Jeff! Your set ups for shots was EPIC ( I know, silly word), the only other word that comes to mind is perfection! Using the lake to mirror the sky, the cadence of the cars matching the showers, jaw dropper...
This is a time-lapse movie, assembled from sequences of individual photos. I shoot a sequence of 30 second photos which catch the meteors all night long, then they get played back as a video. It's a standard film making technique, and none of the meteors (or any other element) are edited in or faked in any way. The only adjustments are minor ones to brightness, contrast, and white balance (color), plus a little noise reduction. I'm a photography, not an animator.
Awesome video! Thanks for posting for us top see... I have a question though: beginning at about the 3:23 mark there is a point of light that remains stationary until about the 3:30 mark, and then fades away. As for its location on the screen, it is about 1/3 screen width in from the left edge, and about half way down the screen from the top edge. It starts off fairly bright and then fades out. I slowed the playing speed down to 1/4 speed and set my mouse pointer on the dot which did not seem to move at all. The rest of the sky moves across the screen, but not this one point... Any ideas what this might be??
there's a light moving from right to left at 3:22 till 3:30. starts from nearly middle of the screen. above that another goes across[this one might be a plane but it changes speed rapidly]. but the the first light is too slow for a time-lapse, isn't it? what is it? same lights occur on 3:46 also.
Hey great time lapse, could you post the settings you used to capture the footage eg. interval, exposure. I created my own time lapse of the shower,i'm still learning the technique and it's really helpful to compare settings.
Yes, there are at least two major meteors which leave a cloud of vaporized material which drifts away over the next few frames. Eventually I'll zoom in on those frames and replay them in more detail.
You have some great stuff here. It is interesting to observe the airglow in your time lapse movies. Interestingly, it is closer to being stationary with respect to the earth than I though it would be. However, it does change and you see waves of color varying from green to pink. This glow comes from the very thin atmosphere at about 60 miles and is caused by several processes of recombination of atom and molecules ionized or broken up by solar ultraviolet light.
Qué es esa "estrella" fija que no se mueve con el resto de estrellas entre el minuto 3:23 y 3:30 y entre el 3:46 y 3:49 aproximadamente en la misma zona, en el cuarto superior izquierdo cerca del cuarto inferior?
gotta love the age we live in... an expanding universe means complete darkness for the night skies that will come in the distant universe... then again, what we see on this planet is merely an indiscernible mark on the vast beauty that is our universe
Wow! what a time laps. what is the minimum spec camera you'd recommend to do this ? I'm thinking it will need to be very wide aperture to catch the brief light from the meteors.
Also, right after 0:58 another exploding meteor in upper right screen ... also right after 1:04 .... upper center screen ... Make sure to set video speed at .25 for best viewing!
How do you record the Sky like this in the night, like even when it's a perfectly clear Nightsky and I go outside to the middle of a field I can barely see half as clear as it is to see in the video
Its by far the best Timelapse i have ever seen it's beautiful .. Natural work of art . id love to have skies so clean of light pollution :D may i ask the time of year this was done and what direction were you pointing at in the sky .. Noth / by north east :? . thanks for sharing exceptional work :)
At night with no moon, each of the individual photos is 30 seconds, so if you combine 30 of those shots per second you're covering 900 seconds of time, or 15 minutes, in one second. It'd be pretty tedious to see several nights of meteors if it was straight video and you needed to watch it for several nights to see it all.
9 years later and still one of my fave videos of the Perseus meteor shower 🙌🏼
The best video of the meteor shower I have seen. Due to bad weather here in Southern Ireland I was unable to see any. What a sight - awe inspiring.
Seriously. Very nice piece of work. I first appreciate the content itself, then admire all the work I realize you put behind the scenes. Cheers!
Thanks, this is the coolest meteor video I've ever seen, you are a genius.This is your life's 15 mins of fame, doesn't get any better.
All I can say is "WOW!!" Thanks, Jeff.
If I ever get married, I want to go somewhere where I can watch this meteor shower like this for my honeymoon.
Can I marry you?
U should take Honeymoon to the Norway to see Northern Lights too! Imagine, meteor shower + milky way + northern lights for ur honeymoon! How amazing is that?
Me too!!!!
Knowing my luck it would be cloudy
27 dislikes? How can you dislike a meteor shower? That's like hating the palm of your hand! You can't hate the palm of your hand.
Ikr!
rainbowbutterflyfan no clue!
Because the video is so fast that you mostly see satellites and plains instead of meteors.
Spucky 123r
And even PLANES as well!
that's what I meant lol I'm not a native speaker.

This is incredibly beautiful. I watched this meteor shower a few times between 2008 and 2010. Incredible.
So beautiful....amazing...
STUNNING!!!! THANK YOU!!
Awesome video.Easily one of the best I have seen on youtube ever.Great choice of music as well.Thanks for posting this.
Jeff, I genuinely appreciate your time and effort. You've provided the world a beautiful source of wonder, awe, joy, amazement here -- you selected and shared the best for us! It's gorgeous and mesmerizing. You've got me. I'm coming back again and again. Thank you.
Jeff Sullivan Really nice video, and music! Must have seen this video 10 times now!
This is beautiful. I love the part with the sky reflecting off the water and the long lasting shooting stars 😊
Wow! I came to watch meteor showers, but the rotation of the earth against the stars at fast forward is even more amazing!!
I love our beautiful planet.
Awesome video Jeff!! Thanks for sharing!
I included a short clip with Comet PANNSTARRS at the end, captured in Death Valley National Park earlier this year.
The meteors are a side show... It is our own Galaxy that blows me away. 😮☺
this is the best work i have ever seen in all my life about time lapse BRAVOOOOO , and thanks for sharing
Fantastic Jeff!
M-31 Andromeda galaxy is over in the upper right corner at about 00:02
omg thanks for showing that... looks amazing...
thanks for sharing your awesome work....i´m speechless about your ideas and your eye for great locations...thanks a lot
Great sequences here.
wow. your videos are amazingly gorgeous. I think I just became your #1 fan!
Thanks for sharing
Absolutely stunning clip mate ,like your editing style plus a moon rise through the clouds sublime! great job Jeff keep up the good work .Surely clips like this are the reason youtube was invented !
Marvellous. Thank you.
Great camera work ! really like this video.
Very nice Jeff - fun song choice too.
Wow. This was amazing and beautiful and soothing for mind and body.
Love your work. Thanks for sharing Jeff :-)
This. Is. Awesome. I really hope I get to see skies like those someday.
Stunning! Bowie was a nice touch:)
IS there any chance I can use your footage for a video? It's going to coincide with a song I wrote :)
Sorry...I'm taking that back...I've just watched some of your other videos, absolutely stunning.
Prepare your acceptance speech, it starts with "Id like to thank the members of the academy"..Oscar winner Jeff!

MayanResearcher. agree 100 percent... awesome work

simply awesome
One of the best things about this is it's on my birthday
Just amazing :)
beautiful
Wow!!! This was awesome!!! :) loved it!!!! We never see the sky like this here in Chicago....It really was beautiful!!!!
Потрясающе красиво! Огромная благодарность за возможность увидеть такое живое и бесконечное небо! Все смотрю и смотрю.... Восхитительно, волшебно!!!
Awesome video! Thanks for posting for us top see...

Any ideas what this might be??
most likely a geostationary satellite!
I was just about to ask this, wondering if anyone else noticed it. Im assuming a satellite.
Amazing!
love the music with it
this is the most beautiful thing ive seen, jeff can you please upload the perseid meteor shower happening tonight?
This is probably the best video on the internet right now. Love this!
Really sweet ty for upload
there's a light moving from right to left at 3:22 till 3:30. starts from nearly middle of the screen. above that another goes across[this one might be a plane but it changes speed rapidly]. but the the first light is too slow for a time-lapse, isn't it? what is it? same lights occur on 3:46 also.
Сказочное зрелище.....завораживает!!!! Спасибо!!!!
...!!!...)))
Замечательное музыкальное сопровождение.
Is it just me or do they always play awesome music in these videos?!
This was so so soo amazing, I wish I lived in a place where the skies looked like this at night; not many stars in nyc.
Lovely video
umm 0:45 seconds.... what was that? was that like thebother video on yourube where the meteor hits the atmosphere and explodes? looked like it....?
Hey great time lapse, could you post the settings you used to capture the footage eg. interval, exposure. I created my own time lapse of the shower,i'm still learning the technique and it's really helpful to compare settings.
The view at 1:50 is amazing
Out of this World!
That was awesome,
cool stuff, excellent video
Thats some serious kit!
great video man
Yes, there are at least two major meteors which leave a cloud of vaporized material which drifts away over the next few frames. Eventually I'll zoom in on those frames and replay them in more detail.
Can i use this in my video ? By the way great work 🙏
What was blinking above the tree moving to the right at 0:12?
Maybe a satellite.
What is the comet that appears in the last footages near to the moon??
Where were you when you took this video
You have some great stuff here. It is interesting to observe the airglow in your time lapse movies.

why do shooting stars are mainly come from sky above and almost none from horizon below upward ?
what is the little light from 0:12 till 0:14? a bit in the upper middle part of the video.
unktzor might be a satalite
Qué es esa "estrella" fija que no se mueve con el resto de estrellas entre el minuto 3:23 y 3:30 y entre el 3:46 y 3:49 aproximadamente en la misma zona, en el cuarto superior izquierdo cerca del cuarto inferior?
Stellar
Perhaps you are referring to the moon, while they lyrics of the song are saying, "Under the moonlight, the serious moonlight"?
what happened at 0:45 with the smoke??
TheCluckingFish That's a meteor vaporizing. Astronomers call that a "persistent train".
gotta love the age we live in... an expanding universe means complete darkness for the night skies that will come in the distant universe... then again, what we see on this planet is merely an indiscernible mark on the vast beauty that is our universe
Fabulous!
Jeff! Amazing! What was the final FO, that was setting with the moon?
Can you see that with the naked eye in that region between CA and NV? In L.A. you can't see anything this awesome.
I love the reflection of the meteors in the water around 2:30...
What's the difference between shooting a video and taking 30 photo p/s? Does taking photos show more detail? :)
Wow! what a time laps. what is the minimum spec camera you'd recommend to do this ? I'm thinking it will need to be very wide aperture to catch the brief light from the meteors.
It was a glorious night 💙 Perseid meteor shower with music of Erik Satie
Also, right after 0:58 another exploding meteor in upper right screen ... also right after 1:04 .... upper center screen ... Make sure to set video speed at .25 for best viewing!
Am I allowed to use this footage for non commercial purposes? i will mention credits for sure! Jeff Sullivan

There is going to be one in august tuesday 2014 its going to be AWESOME!!! 😄
Awesome work :) you have sucj clean skies ,may i ask what country your in :)
sargeruey This was photographed in the Eastern Sierra region of California, United States.
Its by far the best Timelapse i have ever seen it's beautiful .. Natural work of art . id love to have skies so clean of light pollution :D may i ask the time of year this was done and what direction were you pointing at in the sky .. Noth / by north east :? . thanks for sharing exceptional work :)
what location is this ?its beautiful !!
love it.
