any left for this evening?
it was too cloudy to see any
Tried to take pics of the Perseids a few years back.
Got up at 3am and fog settled over the whole area...
Did get this though, I call it 'Moon through fog', something like a 5 minute exposure.

not to mention it fucking rained. like i went outside to lie on a beach towel and talk to this girl on da fonez and it was not only a) soaking wet on the ground, but b) i couldnt see anything to add insult to injury.Poseidon wrote:

I saw one good one a few days ago, I think I saw a faint one yesterday. That'll do, mek, that'll do
They said it peaked last night, so you'll still see some shit tonight and other nights. Unless when Astonomers mean peak they mean finish, then they're just retarded.
i stayed up till 2:30 watching
had great viewing.. i dont think i was able to get a photo of one tho.. how in the hell are you supposed to time it? i just started taking the pics thinking i'd catch one in that 3 second exposure
will scan thru them later and post if i see

was out for a long time with the dog, saw 3 in the space of hours
Saw somewhere in the range of 15 meteors in about 30-45 minutes of looking.
I do live in the middle of no where, but it's impossible to find a good clear spot with no trees (I guess that's why we're the Evergreen state)

As saw about thirty at it's peak. Almost all were directly overhead ... streaking in from the north east.Uzique wrote:

I think I saw one, I have no idea where to look. I can see Ursa Major (Big Dipper/Bear) easily, but where do I look from there?
northern hemisphere sees it best
as kmar said they streak randomly anywhere in the half-way above horizon scope... all leading back to the star-constellation, though
You can't .. best chance is a time lapseKimmmmmmmmmmmm wrote:

Know that when they say 60 an hour it's under great viewing conditions, like in a park, away from most light pollution. Also consider it includes the entire sky (where you might not be looking).. know that 60 an hour does not mean 1 a minute, or so. You might go 10-15 minutes without seeing anything, and then there is 4 or 5 back to back. That's my experience at least.Narupug wrote:

slept outside in a sleeping bag and watched til i fell asleep. i think i saw around 11, but only had half a sky to work with. the house blocked the rest of the sky. I LOVE SHOOTING STARS

Haven't seen one at all yet. Too cloudy or pissing it down to see anything.
The meteors tend to come in streaks (pun intended).Kmar wrote:

I was also out looking when Perseus was still on the horizon, so I could have missed some because of that too. It really is hard to find optimal conditions.
