Just saw one while out on the deck relieving myself.

I’m going to try to get out there sometime in the wee hours this morning when they are saying they will be be peaking.

Anybody else watching?


Eh...wot?

I will look for them. Some years the Perseids are spectacular. Unfortunately, the mosquito numbers are pretty spectacular right now, so I probably won't look for long.

I’m camped in the yard. I’ve seen 4 in the last half hour. I’m in it for the long haul though.

I've watched them for many years, sometimes they are amazing, other times a let down, have been noticing some long flyers this year, watch when you can they don't last long and gone !!

Earlier today, there was no rain in the forecast for tonight, but of course it started raining.

I saw a couple.

The Vulcan rocket launched really had the hillbilly's up here in a tizzy with it's exhaust plumes.

My one neighbor thought it was aliens using cover of the meteor shower to mask a hostile take over attempt.

I was out a few more times overnight, to let me and the dogs out. LOL I saw a total of seven.

As said above: some nice long fliers and all out of the northeast.

The slightly waning full moon (waning gibbous) sure was bright last night.


Eh...wot?

You’d need a blood transfusion if you pulled that around here. The skeeters woulda carried you away.

We have a lot of bats and insect-eating birds patrolling our property. Never had much of a bug pest problem even with the pond and creek nearby.

No Persied viewing last night/early this morning. Solid overcast the whole time.

The Geminids in December will be the next best shot at seeing a bunch.
