Called “The Little Persistent Perseid Meteor That Could,” this photo by Michael Menfee was taken in August 2011. He writes, “So after making the extra effort to triple-check the weather forecast for our preferred Perseid location we still got clouded over, but I refused to give up on the shower. I pointed my camera at the shower radiant and hoped some meteors would be bright enough to shine past the nearly full moon and cloud cover... and I was rewarded with this nifty Perseid image that is quite a bit different than the usual fair. I guess it just goes to show the old lemons to lemonade adage applies to photography too!”. (Photo by Michael Menfee)
