Thank you I have seen just one fireball over the last decade or so (I go out every year clouds permitting) it was absolutely exhilarating! I knew that it was something special, I was in the deepest darkest part of the New Forest that I could get to at the time, and apparently alone..... the next moment I heard "whoops" and cheers from the darkness as a fire tipped plume light up the sky. Absolutely majestic. I am glad to hear that you have had the fortune to see such a rare beast 👍

This was on the 12th of August, it took me ages to get around to posting I did see something similar the night before last as it happens at a similar time as I was packing my kit away

Thanks, It was very lucky indeed considering that I was just tinkering with the lens for the most part 😀 I would love to observe a meteor through binos or a refractor, that would be tremendous

Bagged this Perseid capture whilst testing my new Samyang XP 14mm f/2.4 lens. I saw the meteor streak by and hoped that the camera was pointing in the right direction (I have often seen cracking Perseids shoot by just outside of my camera FOV ) . Shot with a Canon 6D, ISO1600 f/3.2 15sec, class 5 Bortle.

Lovely images, the third one is a cracker

Simply amazing work!
