2010 Perseid Meteor Shower Highlights

This video shows all Perseid meteors brighter than Mag 0 captured by the meteor camera between the 8th and the 14th of August 2010 in Bangor, County Down Northern Ireland. They are in chronological order, you can see the date and time printed at the bottom of the video. The meteor shower this year lived up to its reputation as the old faithful of the meteor showers, with a healthy peak ZHR of around 110 at around 3am UT on the 13th morning (from my perspective). The IMO is reporting a peak ZHR of between 120 and 140 at 18:00 UT on the 12th August

I watched it on the 12th in Ontario. Although not as many as i had hoped there were 3 meteors that left some nice trials in the sky. Very memorable:D

We try to watch every year here in Newfoundland, but this year it was too cloudy. Very sad.
