The Tau Herculid meteor shower/outburst was a bust last evening, but still came away with a few nice captures and some lessons learned. The biggest lesson was learning my all-sky dome camera tends to overheat the equipment inside, yikes, temperatures inside hit about 58C (136F). We had almost 600 people watching our live stream from all over the world and had a blast chatting through the event and sharing observations from your locations. This image shows the best meteor captured during this event from my backyard. I’ve highlighted the Big Dipper (in Ursa Major) and Keystone (in Hercules) asterisms for reference.
