Because this comet is a little dirtball, he left a lot of wreckage on his path and if such a piece is hitting the atmosphere it will glow up in a bright flare. On a photo you can see, that the color is changing while it is burning up.
For this image I let the camera work for more than an hour and took about 90 images. I was lying beside the camera and saw a lot more of this flares, but not in the direction of the lens. But I was lucky enough to catch 7 of this meteors.
If you have time, the weather is good and the moon is not too bright this year, go out and watch the perseids falling down, it’s an awesome experience. I will remember you before it’s time this year.
