The Perseids

Remarkably there was only slight cloud cover last night as we gathered in the garden to gurn at the Perseid meteor shower. We even managed to see a couple!

The good Mrs Mungo and I have a rather dismal record when it comes to seeing astronomical events, having missed eclipses (both solar and lunar), meteor showers, aurora, black holes and flying saucers* due to the UK's rather unfortunately cloudy weather. For the first time in years we weren't denied. Might try again tonight and see if I can get a few snaps.

*OK, so not all of those are astronomical and not all of those are phenomena either.
