Here's a summary of all trails imaged on the night before maximum. The
two b&w images were taken with a CCD camera fitted with a 28mm f/2.8
lens. The system gave me a field of view approximately 10 degrees
across. The last image shows a pin-point meteor very close to the
radiant position (as it should be of course!).

The two central images in the second row show a glow through Taurus. I
believe this is the Zodiacal Light but I'm currently seeking an
expert's opinion on this one before I post up the full frame images.

The summary file contains 22 meteor trails and is just over 1Mb in
size.

Here's the summary image for the maximum night (12/13 August). I've
still to do a fine sweep of all the images taken but that'll have to
wait for a bit. Total number of meteors imaged over two nights: 47.
