Stargazers across Wales have captured the annual Perseid meteor shower on camera.

For the first time since 2007, it coincided with a new moon, creating a darkened sky.

The Met Office had warned that cloud cover was likely to obscure the spectacle as it reached its peak on Wednesday night.

But many people were able to enjoy clear viewing conditions.
