About this image

Way back then..

it was around 2weeks delay before seeing if any Meteors had been captured at all.

10mins guided exposure had caught several meteors and ever present Sodium Sky-Glow

from nearby Street Lights.. Patrick Moore showed it on the Sky at Night Episode devoted to

the then forthcoming 1988 Perseids. This is an Old-Worlde Screen Shot from that programme.
