  1. Did anyone see a very bright meteor last night? Some time after 23.00. My partner  and daughter saw a fireball over Lowestoft, very bright and quite slow moving. From the direction it came from, likely to have been a Perseid. I was in my shed at the time and as she shouted out I got a long duration ping on my SDR meteor set up. Quite the largest I have recorded since I set it up. Not sure the geometry would work so might have been a coincidence!  When I have finished my SDR run for this year's Perseid shower I will find the screenshot and post it. Lovely night took some nice images of the Milky Way, Picked up the ISS through my big bins - it actually appeared rectangular!  M27 was very clear and easy to see through bins plus lots of open and globular clusters.  Although I observed quite a few meteors I did not get any images. I did however capture an Iridium Satellite flare.
