Anyone watching for the Perseid meteor showers tonight? Here in Oxfordshire its cloudy :-(
Did manage to see 3 last night but disapointed tonight. Otherwise I might have driven out of the village with a deck chair in my car boot!

Re: Meteor spotting...but not Glosters
Just seen one up here at Montrose this very min. - reasonably clear here, bit of light and patchy cloud. Its good enough to see anything but not much action by the looks of it at the moment :roll:

Too cloudy last night here in Dallas unfortunately. There's a chance that it will clear up enough tonight to see something.
Re: Meteor spotting...but not Glosters

Re: Meteor spotting...but not Glosters
You already know the answer here in Nevada --- its a toss up tonight with about one good trail every two or three minutes and the lightning display from the 50K plus thunder heads up towards Bryce canyon -- some one got a shot of one trail last night here that went literally from horizon to horizon.

Only succeded in scaring the neighbours into thinking we are a pair of weirdos..

Its going dark now and its quite clear above my house. Might have another check in an hour or so.
And I suppose I better put some clothes on this time.
