Are you sure that's a meteor trail? The reason I ask is that it is bright in the middle, with dimmer trails before and after the bright bit. That looks suspiciously like an Iridium flare - at least it looks like the Iridium flares I've managed to photograph.

Compare with this Iridium flare I took a while back

Hello Pete.

I'm pretty sure it was a Perseid, it only lasted a few seconds, I also monitor Iridium flares, but I also agree it does look like your photo? I saw 3 in total last night, but perhaps my photo does not do it justice, because my camera takes a series of 10 pictures and I thought it was just coming to the end of the series when the meteor came over, so I was not even sure if I had caught it on camera.
