Perseid Meteor shower.

[Mr Gus]

I'm just about to cock a snook, how's the cloud?

[Mr Gus]

Didnt see a single one & neighbours security light kept activating & shining right through the window & lit up the room, ...60+ feet away. stayed up past 2am.

[Fintray]

Had a look out about midnight but was pretty cloudy so went to bed.

Its that time of the year again to look up, preferably after midnight if your sky is clear, looking good here on the South coast.
Nice temperature for comfortable viewing and the moon will set early.

SWMBO and I saw about 10 each last night from 00:30 to 01:00 and about 4 were very bright.

Nice one, I did see a couple but couldn't stay out that late, as I am quite busy building a big shed for the next door neighbours, which may well have PV installed on it soon ish . Tonight is theoretically the Perseid peak, so if you have a clear sky again it may be worth another peek.

I took about fifty images but haven't had time to download them yet, will do a load more tonight so
