A stargazer has captured a breathtaking view of the Perseid meteor shower from Dorset. Josh Dury employed ingenious camera methods to record the spectacle as he spent multiple nights at the Durdle Door limestone arch landmark.
He explained: "Unfortunately, the bright waning gibbous moon will blot out this year's display, so I had a go at imaging them at the beginning of the month. I attempted to capture meteors between 28th July to 1st August, and got 14 meteors documented over a six-hour integration.
"It was a longer integration this time to capture some meteors, but obviously not as active during the peak.
"Data was captured using long exposure tracking the sky using a star tracker to record meteors.
"Images were stacked in sequence using photo-editing software and stacked to increase signal to noise ratio."
The Perseids take their name from the constellation Perseus, from which they appear to emerge.
