    Hello,

    Is anyone staying up to catch the meteor shower this evening? It seems us northerners might not see it though.

    Nik.

    You can see the meteors pretty much anywhere in the sky, but your best bet is to face a northish direction. Remember also that the number of meteors increase AFTER midnight.

    Is from last night. There are others if you search

    I managed some wonderful star trails, saw lots of meteors but didn't manage to get them to show up.
    I use a free stacking programme & expose for 30 secs figuring that if I'm lucky enough to get any in the frame I can pick that frame out & if I don't I have some good trails anyway.
    They say 1130 should be a good time. I saw most looking south east but they can be anywhere.full-frame-1-meteor.jpg
    On closer examination I can see one at the top. crop-1-meteor.jpg
    This is the cropped image so you can see it a bit easier.
    Stars show some lovely colours.
    Apologies for the dead pixels.

    That's a really good result Penny, the colours are striking. With a bit of luck you'll get one of the really bright ones. One feature of the Perseids shower is the percentage of bright meteors. They are bright too - often enough to cast a shadow.

    Went out to garden last night about 10.30pm for a ciggie and saw two bright ones within 10 mins or so. Might stay up tonight and get camera out. Sky has cleared here and we're just south of Bracknell Forest, so don't give up. Good luck.
