It looks like I did manage to catch a few Perseids on Thursday night 11 August, imaging near the radiant close to the Double Cluster.  Nothing exciting though.

I've stacked together the 5 frames containing a Perseid.  50mm Nikon lens at F4 on Sony A7S camera at ISO 4000:



Someone in SEKAS managed to get one that left a smoke trail:
