Cosmic fireworks

Great show from the meteor shower here last night.
Went outside for 5 or ten mins each hour from 10 to 2, just a fags' worth, and saw about 60 including 5 spectacular fireballs. :smt033

Had to pop up to Asda about 11pm and headed out to the more rural area outside Cov on the way back to try to reduce the light pollution a bit.

Saw a good few stars and a number of aircraft ..... and, at last I spotted one.
A bit hazy/cloudy but at least I spotted one - I guess not too bad from just outside a big city.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.
