A staff of the Thiruvananthapuram Observatory has joined a series of astrophotographers who successfully clicked snaps of the Perseid meteor shower from the capital.
Rahul Dev L., an expert in handling optical telescopes, armed himself with his personal mobile phone for the endeavour.
Mr. Dev, who works as a technical assistant at the Observatory run by Kerala University, had initially chosen the location for the sighting on Sunday, August 13. However, the glaring lights in the heart of the city made it impossible to spot the meteors from atop the observatory.
