Perseids and others on night of 14th to 15th August 2023

[Rick]

This is a tracked stack of the meteors captured by my two Global Meteor Network cameras on the night of 14th to 15th August, 2023. One camera caught 304 meteors and the other caught 233. There's some field overlap, and some meteors get counted twice because of that. Others get counted twice because they happen across a frame break and appear part in one and part in the next frame. Once those have been accounted for, the final total is 466 meteors in this image. Preliminary analysis identified 77 sporadics, 330 Perseids, 17 Northern delta Aquiriids, 11 eta Eridanids, 9 Piscis Austrinids, 8 August Draconids, 8 kappa Cygnids and 6 Southern delta Aquiriids.
