Havent had internet connection in over 36hrs, so these pics are a bit late, as took them yday am. Bought myself a new D-Link Modem/Router, and now all set up and going.

Anyway, ventured out Sunday morning for only 30 minutes or so in 6 dg temps (:eyepop:), then was getting too light, but managed to see 3 bright and slow Perseids - beautiful!! Jupiter also looked amazing as right atop the Moon.

Took a few pics, and very happy with my Perseid pic as captured 3 meteors in it. Not great processing, but at least you can see them. :D

Moon pic isnt great as overexposed, but you can certainly appreciate the closeness off Jupiter to it. :)

Lucky to see some, even luckier to capture some. I missed Jupiter being really close to the moon so it's good to see a pic:thumbsup:

Well done with the Perseids Liz! I was looking out for them while capturing the moon and Venus this morning, but didn't see any over the city lights.

Cheers,
Stephen
