The 1st and 2nd images in this page have composed the Perseids meteor shots in single flames captured before dawn of Aug 12 and 13, 2016, respectively.
And the last one shows you a -3rd Perseids bolide appeared around Andromeda before dawn of Aug 12, which has shown in the 1st image,
and the change of meteor train for about 3 minutes.
The Perseids meteor shower in the year of 2016 could be observed under good conditions without moonlight.
I was nearly blessed with weather, could observe about 40 or 50 Perseids meteors in hourly rate on maximum date.
