@ukmeteornet The same #meteor can just be seen in this time exposure, though I had to enhance the heck out of it to make it stand out against the moonlit cloud. You can just make out the pink colour.

The Moon, Jupiter and a meteor last night at 8.22pm. Seen to the west from #Lochearnhead, it would have been out over the Atlantic a little west of #Islay. @ukmeteornet

Scotland settles into September with warm sunshine and moonlit nights. If you were out at half three this morning you might have seen this beauty. High in the north from #Lochearnhead, a fast moving epsilon Perseid fireball according to @UKMeteorNetwork

Perseid Fireball from the small hours of August 7th from #Lochearnhead. It was overhead just off #Islay heading towards the coast of Ireland. Compare this video with a Sony IMX291 sensor to the next image 1/

The Aurora comes in waves, and while watching it you don't notice how cold you become. Once a wave subsides, you can't wait to get indoors. We saw the best of it last night, the meteor camera caught the rest.

[Jamie Shepherd @JamieShepherd1]

Also from last night a wee medley of the meteors in amongst the aurora, some late Lyrids and a brightie sporadic.

[Jamie Shepherd @JamieShepherd1]

Busy night.

[Jamie Shepherd @JamieShepherd1]

The #Lyridmeteorshower peaks tonight, with the sharp maximum timed perfectly for the UK around midnight. This one from a couple of nights ago left a #persistenttrain seen here as an orange wisp. The other track is a satellite.

[Jamie Shepherd @JamieShepherd1]

An entire winter's crop of bright meteors can now be harvested from the comfort of the fireside, thanks to low-light meteor cameras and the work of @meteordoc @UKMeteorNetwork @FireballsUK and friends. Can you spot the imposters?

[Alice Mathieson @snowflakeal]

@KillinFire @SCFLSO Congratulations amazing achievement

[Jamie Shepherd @JamieShepherd1]

We caught the second wave of #aurora last night up Glenogle. The red of the rays could just be made out by eye. This view at 11pm, 26th Feb.

@SoVeryBritish May your public transport never be on time.

One for @schehallion to lookout for

[Jamie Shepherd @JamieShepherd1]

A reminder of the predicted outburst of the #Leonidmeteorshower on Saturday 19th just before dawn, peaking after 06.00 GMT. Later than the normal peak and likely only to last an hour either side. From a trail spread at the comet's return in 1733. Forecast none too shabby either.

[Jamie Shepherd @JamieShepherd1]

Rain and cloud for weeks, our North facing #globalmeteornetwork camera was celebrating its #firstlight last night and look what popped through a hole in the cloud.😀 Seven minutes before midnight on the 11th.
