Successful Perseid Watch
The sky cleared after 2200 here in Larne allowing us to see an excellent ISS pass at 2205 then as it got darker we saw over 20 Perseids in the next two hours including this one....
Many were brighter than this and at least three left smoke trails lasting a couple of seconds.
In the end we were looking at smaller and smaller areas of clear sky so we called it a night.
However, the shower goes on for a few more nights yet so we may see more!
My 2004 Perseid sighting remains the best to date - here it is:-
