Meteors on Perseid maximum night of 12th-13th August 2025

[Rick]

This is a tracked stack of the meteors caught by my two Global Meteor Network cameras on the night of 12th-13th August, 2025. The north-west facing camera saw 238 Perseids, 8 Northern delta Aquarids, 5 eta Eridanids, 3 Southern delta Aquarids, 2 August Draconids, 2 kappa Cygnids and 25 others). The north-east facing camera saw 219 Perseids, 4 Northern delta Aquarids, 3 August Draconids, 3 Southern delta Aquarids and 14 others). There's a small zone of overlap, so some meteors were seen by both cameras.

That really shows how alive the sky is. Hard hat at the ready!

Not quite as many last night, but more clouds, too. Sadly the night before the maximum was almost completely clouded out over most of the UK.
