Well I think it is? I took nearly 4 hours of 15 second frames with a 2 second delay starting around midnight. I used my Canon 250D and in the absence of a more suitable lens, a Takuma Pentax 50mm set to f1.4 at ISO 800, so don't look too closely at the stars. - :)

I obviously caught lots of satelites and planes but this appeared on a single frame, its pointing at the Radiant and has a bit of colour. I stacked the stars in Pixinsight and blended the comet into the stack. 

I've just bought a 14mm f2.8 lens so I'm going to have another go at catching some more if its clear enough.

This the single frame with just a screen stretch for info.

Lovely little thing! Yes, I’d say definitely a Perseid with that gorgeous green hue.

Hope you’ve recovered from sifting through all those frames!!

Thank you,

Actually it wasn’t too bad. Using the back of the camera screen was like a video, and I could quickly stop and check when I saw a flash. They were quite bright on the screen.
