I read 12-13th is the best time, is it a bit earlier?
I didn't get any perseids but did get some lightning
I had reasonably clear skies on Tuesday night, so headed out, with my younger son, to a spot 5-10 miles away where more sky is visible than from our driveway. We didn't see a single meteor in over an hour, but I think my camera picked up one. Despite the rural location without a village within 2 miles the degree of sky glow was alarming.
The only other time I remember successfully capturing a Perseid was a couple of years ago at my Brothers place (very rural mid France)
I actually caught some distant lightning in the same shot!

Well I could claim to have used 'Dutch tilt' because of my Dads nationality (he was Dutch even though I was 5 before he first visited Holland) but it was probably just me put the camera down on a table facing roughly the right way.its so far out it looks intentional
