Meteor Shower

[TOFB4ISU]

Thought I would go out for about a half hour to see if anything was going on. Was not disappointed. Couple were in the fireball category. Anybody else watching?

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I thought it wasn't till midnight?

 

[sadam]

I work nights so my eye will be to the sky.

 

[LindenCy]

Is it going on right now?

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Just went outside. Didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Direction Rabbit

Just came back in from trying to watch. If it's happening in the western sky, I'm blocked unless I get in the car and drive further out from town. Alas...an early morning prevents me.

:sad:

 

[BigLame]

Think it's to the NE. Perseids by/out of Cassiopeia. Should pick up over next couple hours

 

[stormchaser2014]

Have seen a few bright ones. I swear I can see many very faint streaks of light too, not sure though

 

[FDWxMan]

Perseids out of the constellation Perseus. Look NE. Peak should be from 1 AM on, could see at a rate of 1 per minute or slightly higher.

 

[Goothrey]

Cloud cover got worse. Light pollution was pretty strong as well.

 

[DFWClone]

I just checked and saw nothing but it's only 11:15 here in Scottsdale so I'll go back outside in a little bit.

 

[sadam]

Pretty awesome. Easily average one per minute

 

[ISUcyclones11]

Ugh thanks Ankeny. Can't see a damn thing.

 

[DFWClone]

Of all the nights for it to be cloudy in Arizona...

 

[pourcyne]

Yeah, from 10 to 10:30, saw about thirty. One was a line drive whose tail lasted several seconds. Beauty.

Where are you? I had my kids out from 10:30 - 11:15 and saw probably a dozen. The ones we saw were cool but the kids got bored/tired.

Way down south (still Iowa, but barely), middle of nowhere, no lights for miles. Milky Way was about as clear as it gets in the summer. Also tracked a satellite or two, but too lazy to check if one was the space station going over.

Same story for me. Went out to a pasture and watched from there for about a half hour. Zero light pollution. It would have been awesome even without the meteor shower.

Once again, I forgot to watch but near Des Moines probably would have meant nothing to see.
