44.14 - Perseid Meteor With Moon Over Split Rock Lighthouse

The moon was a crescent, but shows fully lit
because of the long exposure.

The large planet, above and to the right of the moon,
is Jupiter; and to the right of Jupiter is Taurus the bull.
The cluster to the left of the meteor is the Pleiades.
To the far upper left
is the bright yellow giant star Capella, the alpha star in Auriga.

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 17-55
