Description LOFAR AARTFAAC images (integrated over all observing bands) during the Perseids meteor shower in the night 2020 August 12 --13. The large-scale diffuse emission is the Galactic plane. The brightest radio sources Cassiopeia~A and Cygnus~A have been subtracted, sometimes leaving some artefacts. In red, trajectories as computed from the CAMS BeNeLux optical observations are overlaid. Observing frequencies were in the range 30 to 60 MHz.
