Thought I would start this one off...  Activity should be picking up already, unfortunately maximum will be hampered by the full moon, but i've done many perseid sessions before in bright moonlight, and whilst it quells the fainter meteors, the rest are visible, so always worth going out to view if the sky is clear.  Hopefully we will get some nice pickies! Smiley

Nice image Martin!   You've recorded these spots well.  I've been frustrated with them as other than my one image from a few days ago that's all i've managed to see of them.   The weather has just been either too cloudy or too hazy. 

There is certainly aurora potential from them from all these flares and CMEs we've been having, I just hope the sun manages to keep up the activity of late...

They're lovely shots indeed Richard.  My fave is number 2.  I'm completely with what John says, I live in the middle of scruff-ville so simply adore lansdscape views.  Mind you, i'm off to Iceland for a week on sunday, so shall be getting plenty of pickies from there Wink

If this cloud ever breaks for you take the opportunity to check out el-sol, beautiful at the moment with a band of active regions spread out across its northern hemisphere.
