Great stuff Dave. I think I dropped the ball on not suggesting a "public" meteor watch event But I was heading on holidays. Murphys Law. The pics don't show any LP to speak of for 30" @ ISO 1600 Even the one with the clouds. Was that facing towards the sodium street lights by any chance? If so follo...

Caught Dragon & ISS as well.

Observing Saturday 21st at Lough Gur
Well lads? I'm dying to hear how he got on last night.

What was it like at the lake?
