Starflyer Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 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!
