Persied Meteor Shower 2009

For those of you that have been listening to the news recently will have heard of the recent meteor shower peak.

The peak was during the 11-13 August and during this time you could have seen meteors quite often.

Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, the weather for Shrewsbury has been poor over this period and I have been unable to capture any meteors using my equipment.

On the brighter side I seem to have solved this issue of condensation on the camera lens and will post details later.

I hope clear skies for all (however the forecast says otherwise), as the meteor shower should still be visible, and its definitely worth watching for an hour or so.
