Got this recently, meteor broke up into three sections, but the 13 second exposure doesn't show:

A fine shot, just the same.

They look like they made it through the winter just fine.

Apparently it's the "Thunder Moon" according to this: https://www.space.com/37341-july-full-moon.html

Anyways, was just amazing, about 40+ people at Sherrard Point this evening, I think about 20 of 'em were taking photos with me...

Caught some of the Aurora early this AM.

First time I've seen it. It's extremely faint, so unless you're taking photos you'll be disappointed!

These are okay/average compared to some here, but I went easy on the contrast/brightness compared to some here, which it appears the best was over in the North Cascades/Mt. Baker region:
