Perseid Meteors

Four more meteors from Sunday morning, plus a satellite trail. Due to the light pollution and 3/4 Moon, only the brightest meteors were picked up by the camera. For Saturday evening, the camera was left on the patio looking vertically and was left running all night. I tried to shield the camera from the Moon with the garden chairs, which partially reduced the glare. Exposures were 15 seconds long with the gain at 40% - 13-08-17
