About this image

This is a max hold stack of all the events detected by my UK004D camera last night. Most of these objects are Perseids since they diverge from the radiant which is in the top right of the image. Last night this single camera detected 133 Perseids despite the bright moonlight. The bright event in the middle occurred at 00:37:06 and you can see this on video here.
