Typical British weather... week upon week of sunny days and clear nights, and then, when it comes to the peak of the Perseid meteor shower (12th-13th August), it all goes to shit.
In anticipation of a weekend of crap weather I'd spent the last couple of clear nights trying to get some pics of the early arrivals, here's one of the best that I caught on camera. Feel free to click it to see a resized version:
Last light was a rainy and cloudy non-starter, and the next two nights are slated to be just as bad. The show, which so far elsewhere has been the best for many years with higher-than-expected rates and no Moon-glare, will be more-or-less over by the time the skies clear here.
