Hey Guys.

Cheers Eamonn for posting it here, i'm ashamed to say I didnt think of posting it on the IFAS forum :oops: .
It was taken on tuesday night at about 20.41UT. I went out before dinner for a while and the activity seemed pretty good (there were a few that seemed to be radiating from the area of cassiopea. What meteor showers radiate from there, or are they sporadics?).
After some grub went out again and got this beauty. Its my first proper meteor caught on camera! I was surprised it came out so well.
