Perseids 12 to 13 August 2010

August 3rd, 2010 Paul Comments off

Well its that time of the year again when the Perseid’s should put on a good show once again. As always, the camera will be online throughout the night. When’s the best time I hear you asking… between 21:30 and 03:00 UTC.

If everything goes to plan, I will also hopefully be having a All-Sky camera operational as well…. weather permitting!!

Lets hope for a good one.

The recent cloudy nights broke for a few hours, resulting in this fast moving meteor and a couple of satellite flashes being detected.
