Heads up! Perseid Meteor shower

[Teepee]

Yup, there clearing here too

 

[Kepis]

Just been out and had a early doors peek, saw about half a dozen Meteors, then the ISS came overhead - lovely, just popped in for a cuppa, before going back out for a while

 

[Teepee]

The lights are out and the skies clear. I'm off with a blanket, cider and a Stogie to the top of the hill to enjoy the show.

 

[udamiano]

It's gone cloudy here I'm hoping it might clear later though

 

[Filterhoose]

Wee fire going laid back watching meteors trail across the sky in conjunction with some heavy eyelids......

and its goodnight from me. Best is yet to come just before dawn.

Windy

 

[caffeine]

damn i was out camping too but didnt realise .... will have to upgrade so i can internets whilst out and about.

I'm not jealous at all of ya Dartmoor camp, its been ages since I've been down that way
Enjoy your trip, hope you get a good show.





Looks cloudy here too........ah well. I tried... (again, 2 years in a row. I'll see them again one day before I die..... if I emigrate )

Had some cracking ones on Friday not many yet but as it was so clear awesome to see... Also saw the spacestation passing through. Was very overcast on Saturday night so didn't see anything!

 

[HillBill]

Never saw anything, too much cloud cover.

 

[Bushcraftsman]

we were stood out for about an hour and didnt see anything!

 

[Lupis]

Far too cloudy here last night I did see a few when lying out on Friday night, before it clouded over just after 1am. Caught one really bright one which was great. But as usual the weather screwed it up for the peak times. it does get really frustrating as there have been so few opportunities to observe the stars this whole year due to the weather.

Socked in with cloud here but I saw the display in 1992 so I'm not complaining.

 

[Totumpole]

I had heard about this, but I was in London last night. Not A CHAnce in hell of seeing anything through that amount of light pollution! maybe next year

 

[spandit]

I've got back late from work on quite a few days this summer (about 2am). They switch most of the streetlights off at midnight so it's pretty dark - some of the night skies have been really clear and you can see some amazing meteors if you're patient enough - perhaps not as many as at the moment but you can fill the time in waiting by watching satellites going over

 

[Teepee]

I saw 11 in ten minutes, then it clouded over, then I got bitten by mossies and harvest mites and sat on a slug.

Happy days

 

[udamiano]

Saw a few, but it didn't stay clear for long, about 3 am a good number flew into the atmosphere. quite warm and good night to be sat in the garden. although the light pollution from Coventry did spoil it somewhat

 

[dwardo]

Saw quite a few last night too but we were lucky to have a break in the clouds.

 

[Wallenstein]

We were out in the middle of the Cotswolds on Friday and Saturday night. Brilliant show... clear skies and less light polution that back home meant we saw loads of shooting stars.

 

[Dean]

Full cloud cover and rain. Oh well there's always the next one.

 

[Nice65]

Wakey wakey!

Should be the best show in a decade tonight, just heading to a garden lounger now.
