Perseid meteor from Brisbane, 13Aug09

Hi all,

I was down in the local park from about 4:30 until 5:00 (when the fog rolled in) this morning hoping to catch the peak of the Perseid shower. Only saw 2 Perseids, both about mag 0 or 1. I had the camera with me, and was lucky to catch the second one during one of the many 8 second exposures that I took. Here's the result - the meteor is just below Betelgeuse.

Did anyone else manage to capture a Perseid?

Cheers,
Stephen
