Some Perseids, and more

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 (), 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.

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