All Sky Meteors 11/12th August 2022

A nice bright Moon did its best to wash out the night sky but still lots of meteor activity visible last night.

I've had a few like this, but not sure if meteors or satellites.

I agree Jonk. Fortunately for me my local astronomy club has a large number of members who have all sky cameras and UKMON memberships so there are some seasoned observers there with way better gear that are able to confirm these things to me.

A starting point may be to download Stellarium and the satellite function (all free) then check your images against known satellite positions. Heavens Above (also free) has daily predictions of bright satellites that can be found here https://www.heavens-above.com/AllSats.aspx?lat=51.9468&lng=1.05&loc=Cotman+Ave%2c+Lawford%2c+Manningtree+CO11%2c+UK&alt=10&tz=GMT
