About this image

A nice example of a bright Perseid meteor captured from the North York Moors, despite the cloud! Starting off in lower Cygnus, it passes to the right of the Coathanger asterism in Vulpecula and then Altair in Aquila. The green, orange and pink colours of the meteor can be seen, despite the passing clouds.
