The Perseid Meteor Shower an annual astronomical treat.

 

Previously un-published compilation of cropped images taken with the Jodrell Plank Observatory's mobile rig from Pakefield Cliffs Lowestoft in 2021.

" The night of the maximum Perseid Meteor display in 2021 was unaffected by moonlight and bad weather. The view from the cliffs at Pakefield provided a clear view to the east and towards Holland. Unfortunately, light pollution from buildings in Lowestoft and from ships and rigs on the North Sea was an issue, which required careful processing to overcome. 2021 provided an excellent display of Perseid Meteors and many more were seen than were captured by the camera. The data was captured using a Canon 600d DSLR and Sigma EX zoom wide-field zoom lens all mounted on a Star Adventurer EQ mount". - Kurt Thrust current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
