Scott Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Can anyone confirm whether or not this is in fact a perseids meteor? They were coming from the right direction. poor image quality but its ok for a first I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrance Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Don't look like Iridium flares so my guess would be yes, but I am definitely not an expert. Another guess would be that is the Andromeda Galaxy bottom right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie61 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The track looks about right (moving left to right) so I would say yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Unfortunately, neither are Perseids as they don't point back to the radiant which is located a bit below the bottom left corner of the frames. Top one is pinkish which could indicate a meteor but the bottom one looks like a satellite trail to me.Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
