Hi Kevin, great report - you're much more organised than me, I just sat there and went "oooh" every so often

I saw around 15 between 11pm and 2 am all from the general direction of Persius / Cass except for one sporadic one that went relatively slowly from south to north leaving a nice orange trail.

Cheers,

Ian

I think these things are a myth. I have been out every night this week from 0000 through to 02:00 and havent seen a thing yet.

The camera never lies honest

The perseids can be great, but they can also be appauling!

This year I saw one.

About 10 - 15 years ago, in an alnight session lasting about 6 - 7 hours I saw over 500.

With meteors it's the luck of the draw!

Nice image Kevin!
