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. :xx:
Nice temperature for comfortable viewing and the moon will set early.

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 :whistle: . 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 :xx:
