Too lazy to find the old thread. Perseid Meteor shower is underway now till dawn for North America.
Great Britain reported an extraordinary shower.
Good luck.

Not here--I've seen some great ones so far. Not as many/hr as in years past, but more with long tails and more that were long lived than any shower in my memory.

Ive also seen some good ones. Just my camera cant see them like I can . I agree. They do seem longer than last year.

From 4am till dawn, was probably the best meteor show I've seen in many many years, and I've seen them all when conditions allowed for nearly 25 yrs. Tonight--midnight till dawn, should/could be about 1/2 as good.
