Perseids, night of 12th-13th August 2024 Quite an intense Perseid maximum this year, and some auroral activity on the night as well, though you can't see that in this tracked stack which tries to show all the meteors caught that night by my two Global Meteor Network cameras. One camera caught 255 Perseids and 60 other meteors. The other caught 302 Perseids and 66 others (along with a wandering spider...). There's some field overlap, so quite a few of those were caught by both cameras. I decided not to produce a tracked-stack showing just the Perseids, as this one took almost 7 hours.
