Perseid meteor shower from Somerset
The annual Perseid meteor shower was predicted to be most active in early hours of Aug 12th. It was hoped that this would be the best display for years. So off I went to a dark Somerset field between the hours of 1am and 3am. I saw three amazing meteor tails but sadly did not have the camera pointing in the right direction, The meteors were in all parts of the sky but only about 1 every 5 mins. The local bats took an interest in me and I wished that I had had a soft light with me. After 3am the dew point must have changed as I could not stop the lens misting over.
