Just seen a bright, slow-moving meteor near Vega.

I estimate at Mag -2 with a tail; and the meteor went about 10 degrees in about 1 to 2 secs.

There was something strange about the tail, it seemed to sparkle rather than look like a smoke tail.

I went out specifically to look for meteors since there are several showers occurring at the moment. It only took about 1 minute of looking to see this meteor. Unfortunately, it only took about 3 more minutes for the clouds to roll over.
