First Perseid Meteor of the season

I had fairly clear skies late Sunday evening, 6th August, so put the DSLR out to try for some Perseid meteors.

I took 298 x 10s f/2.5 exposures between 21:40 and 23:19 UTC on a 20s timer. This is the only one I managed to capture, it was captured at 23:13 UTC.

Pentax:    K-S2

Lens:       Samyang f/2.0 16mm ED AS

Tripod:    Manfrotto ART 055

Of the 298 exposures, 47 (16%) contained satellite trails, that's way more than I can remember seeing in the past and an illustration of how mega constellations of communication satellites are polluting our skies. It'll only get worse unless someone of influence takes a stand, unfortunately big business rules and that'll never happen.
