I heard about the meteor shower earlier this evening and it was lovely and clear so I was quite excited. Now it's very, very cloudy and tomorrow's not looking too promising either  .

We seem to be fairly lucky over in the east/SE as far as clearish skies .. think its a bit early yet though, have only seen about 3 so far .. and now the moon is coming up the brightness is blotting everything out, so calling it a day for today!

Seen about 4 from here in sheffield but now quite cloudy
I'm not sure yet if I captured anything on camera as I'm not used to pointing the camera upwards
