Tried a bit of automated Meteor hunting last night. Got perhaps 4 or 5 on 'film' in >400 30 second exposures. (thank god for digital) - This is the only one that's both bright AND fully in frame .

No photos taken from up here in Kendal, but standing in the yard of a particularly spooky hilltop church between 00.30 and 02.15, through gaps in the clouds we saw maybe 50 meteors, a handful bright enough to leave trains behind them. Caught one in my binocs, saw it slowly writhing as the upper winds caught it, very nice. smile.gif

Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight,
And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,
And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds wink.gif
