"This Perseid meteor was imaged in the early hours of the 11th of August. The weather tonight over Lowestoft is not promising. Rainfall is predicted for 23:00 BST and intermittent cloud from midnight. 'The Jodrell Plank Observatory Meteor Rig' will be set up by Jolene after the rain stops and hopefully we may capture a Perseid or two in between the clouds. The Jodrell Plank Observatory Team and Comet the Observatory cat are on standby hoping for a break in the cloud cover. 

The LVST has been 'pinging away' all day and earlier this morning the rate of radar reflections received at the JPO, appeared to be as high as one per minute".-Kurt Thrust - acting CEO and current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
