Default Perseids summary image 11/12 August (22 meteors)

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.

Very nice. I wish you had a grating to put on your camera, to get
a few meteor spectra!? Ever thought about it? With your skill
it would not take much. If you were closer I would give you a
full ap grating for your camera.

I got all packed up here then clouds moved in Sunday. Never fails.
