Perseid Meteor Shower Above Dachstein Glacier

A photo composite of multiple exposures. From the photographer: “I had no great expectations when looking through the 2000 images I shot the famous Dachstein Glacier in the Austrian Alps. There were some thunderstorms around, a lot of clouds and the mountain massif blocked a part of the sky. I was all the more pleased that nevertheless more than 30 meteors appeared between the clouds and I could create the collage with meteors turned to the radiant. The picture shows the night sky around 1 am with the Andromeda galaxy on the upper right and some faint greenish airglow. It’s a single image from the time-lapse sequence with the fewest clouds I could find. The foreground is also from the time-lapse – it is an image where lightning from a distant thunderstorm has lit up the landscape.”
