Perseids meteor shower

[MikeWilkinson]

Just a quick reminder that it is the perseid meteor shower over the next few days. Peaking tomorrow night but starting tonight. Always worth a watch and one of the more dependable showers of the year.

thanks for the reminder, T^ hopefully clear tonight.

[MikeWilkinson]

Woohoo. Cloud has cleared enough to get half an hour of good north eastern view of the sky and at least 4 nice meteor burn ups.

DITTO once the Weeds start chattering in the garden then you'll know.. :eek:
I was trying to watch for the ISS last night on a Western Track around 22:15hrs as well should have been the brightest object in the sky.

Good clear skies this morning over Southampton and a very good show seen, now need to get ready for work!

[David_JAFO]

hello,
Whoo..Hoo.. clear skies & did it provide dividends. Usual flashes here & there, 11:25pm highlight of the whole skywatch session, a 5 large sized meteor cluster, very slow in track, split, left right & centre. Right 3 near perfect in a line, centre went vertical, the left did a kind of loop U-turn, afterwards just some flickers shooting here & there. Lots of 'awws, wows, etc..' Well worth the wait.

Got to see it in my area, though I didn't see as many meteors as I would've liked (downtown light pollution really sucks)...still a worthwhile experience. :)
