How long did it take you to see 20?

Spent about an hour around 11pm keeping half an eye on the skies while doing work in the conservatory and saw a grand total of 1 (which was quite a nice one) - might have been the odd one I missed/were too faint to see without paying full attention.

Got to bradgate park around 11. Left around 2.
That's a lovely photo.

I got lucky after taking an image which I though had a few meteor trails in it but were actually just artificial trails e.g. satellites.
Had another go and got the image below which has both a meteor and satellite showing the difference between how the two look.

The Meteor starts dim, brightens then dims again, whereas at the bottom of the image what is most likely a satellite is just a steady dim trail.
I kind of have an interest now in taking some night shots somewhere truly dark as opposed tot he above which was just down behind my house.
