No pictures I'm afraid - I was setting up my mount at the time. Very bright, straight out of the Perseid radiant - through Pegasus and fading out below Altair - 3-4 second smoke train as well, no noise though. Time was approx 2145, location Larne.

Sounds like a great one, Paul.
During this summer I have seen several of the same magnitude (-3...-4), but the smoke wasn't lasting for more than 1,5sec and I couldn't call any of them a fireball. (although they were the best of meteors  Smiley )
