I had two goes at catching some Perseid meteors last night: midnight and 3.00am. In the event I only saw two: one faint, one brighter with an enduring trail. (This was around three thirty, after the crescent Moon had risen.)
The Moon displayed the lovely effect of the 'New Moon in the Old Moon's arms', the dark portion of the lunar surface being illuminated by reflected sunlight from the Earth.
