The image shows two Perseid meteors near the radiant at 02:43 & 02:44 UT on 11th August 2018 is from a composite of nine 9.7s images using a fixed Imaging Source DMK 31 camera. The start time for the lower meteor was 02:43:31 UT while for the upper meteor was 02:44:49 UT. A faint train can be seen in a subsequent image for the brighter meteor (not shown). The bright star towards the lower left is Capella in Auriga.
Alas the weather is not looking good for tonight (11th/12th) and tomorrow night (12th/13th) from Essex.
