Shooting stars are gracing the night sky with a spectacular light display set to peak on Sunday night.
The annual Perseid meteor shower will be most apparent in the north-eastern part of the sky near the Perseus constellation.
If the skies remain clear, it will offer stargazers the best opportunity for a few years to see the Perseids.
The shower coincides with a new Moon, giving sky watchers with the dark skies needed for superb observing conditions.

Unfortunately I have to go to work, so may only see if I can see anything between 22:00 and 23:00
