So, I went out to try and catch the Perseid meteor shower last night.
Through some unfortunate timing, even though there were some big, bright streaks directly overhead, almost none of them were captured by the camera, probably because they fell in the gaps between exposures.
I have lots of trails from aircraft and satellites, but only a handful of short meteor trails.
As I was about to pack up for the night, I spotted a bit of a purple glow on the camera's screen, and realised I was catching a bit of aurora. Nothing like earlier in the year, and maybe just barely visible by eye amongst the light pollution, but most definitely there on camera.
I’ll take that!
