Monhegan Island, Maine: 51 Second YouTube Video From The 2nd Floor Of The ‘Island Inn’.
Shot this, on a whim, at 6pm, on Thursday, July 27, 2017 from the fire escape on the 2nd floor of the ‘Island Inn’ on Monhegan Island, Maine. Gives you some feel of the island.
Given it was 6pm the light was fading. But, I couldn’t resist trying to capture something on video, though video is not really my thing. I prefer still images.

2017 Perseids Meteor Shower, Over New England, As Usual Will Peak Around August 11 – 13.
The happens each and every year, without fail, in ‘mid-August’. This is because at that time the Earth crosses the path of the repeatedly left behind debris from the periodic comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle — which orbits the Sun with a 133.28 year orbital period. It was discovered in 1862 BUT may have been orbiting the Sun long before that. It was last seen from Earth in 1992. The next time around be in 2126.
It is difficult to predict how good (i.e., spectacular) it will be in a given year. In 2016 they said it would be huge — but it didn’t quite live up to the billing though I did see a few. The weather might not cooperate this year — though it is a bit early to tell. Rain is predicted for August 11, though this could change. There will be some moon BUT that should not be an issue.
109P/Swift-Tuttle has an perihelion distance of 0.96 AU (i.e., just inside Earth’s orbit) and an aphelion of 51.2 AU — which takes it past Pluto.
The name of the Meteor Shower, i.e., Perseids, comes from the constellation Perseus — where the meteors appear to originate. See image above.
