Out and about in the camper van , spent the night at a favourite local dark sky location.
What a beautiful night, witnessed the Moon rosy red and westward bound, melting into the nearby hills near Maenclochog.
Several meteors flashed by, Helen spotted a possible bollide, she mentioned that it left a definite trail in its wake.
Of course I missed it completely, at the time I was totally distracted by the the Plough asterism!
Out towards the east Jupiter was bright and sharp, and nearby the Pleiades was rising, a sure sign that Autumn is here.
Here's a picture I managed to capture with the phone camera.
A perfect night for all astronomers, hopefully the first of many in this new autumn astronomy season.
