Packsaddle WMA, OK 8-13-24 looking North. I saw about 30-40 Perseids this night. I wasn’t trying very hard to see them. I’d just see them as I was working with my telescope etc. The magenta Northern lights were there most of the night. The faint green Northern Lights came and went. Also, you can see a bit of zodiacal light. You can see it point up toward the Mars/Jupiter conjunction.

Awesome pic! I’ve camped out in Ellis Co once before and it was the darkest sky I’ve seen so far.
