Anyone else watching the meteor shower tonight?

Get your telescopes the Perseids meteor shower peaks tonight

Great clear night for it here. Ice cold beer, binoculars and a nice deck chair.
Just came out so I haven't seen anything yet.

Just saw my first big one. Bright light hauling ass across the sky.

I've seen 2 so far.

Living near DC there is lots of light pollution so I have to go away from town to get a good view.
One year when the peak time was 3 AM, I went out to my secret location in the middle of the USDA research farms about 8 or 10 miles outside of DC. When I got there I discovered it wasn't so secret. There was a line of parked cars and so many people there with lawn chairs, etc., that it looked like a mini Woodstock event. At three in the morning.

Several so far. Pretty cool.

I read rhe peak should be around 4am and nasa is streaming live. Full screen is the best viewing if watching inside.

I went out for awhile and now back inside, the skeeters are out.

So they are different from the last 20 years I've seen them?

 

[EverCurious]

hmmm maybe I can hit the roof and catch some, the sun's just starting to go down so I should have as dark as it'll get here in an hour or so.

 

[Moonglow]

Try doing guard duty, you get to see them all you want...

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I'm discovering why police always made me look up and touch my nose when pulled over at night.
This is quite the challenge while drinking

 

[EverCurious]

They wouldn't let me join the military. I did do a newspaper route up in the mountain's though, lots of shooting stars and aurora

Don't pour beer in your eye!

Wasn't this the start of Day Of The Triffids?

 

[Gracie]

Wish I could see it. But, alas, fog again.

 

[Moonglow]

So you people need your phone to post while supposedly watching meteors? That's as good as dancing with someone on the dance floor and texting..

Sure it's not cataracts?
