Camelopardalids meteor shower over Joshua Tree Milky Way

Photographer and filmmaker Gavin Heffernan shares some dazzling photographs, GIFs, and videos of a recent meteor shower that revealed itself best in the California desert, where the Milky Way is clearly visible in the night sky.

Gavin says, "I managed to get out to Joshua Tree to pursue some Camelopardalids meteors. Didn't see a million of them, but captured a few nice strikes with Milky Way in the background. All the pictures were taken on Canon 6D, 24mm f/1.4 lens at 25 second exposures on Saturday May 24th."

Did any of you readers manage to get out and see the show?
