Best seen from 12am-5am Saturday (in half an hour!) but won't be the best view because of the full moon!

Not sure if this is the right place to post but ah well!

Thanks for the heads up will be looking

did anyone see anything? I wasn't sure if it was overcast last night...
The last couple of previous years, the perseids shower has been amazing. But they were on clear moonless nights. I saw 17 streaks across the skies in 20 mins!!!

for a clearer night tonight.

Ooh will there be more tonight? We got told about this at the planetarium but I totally forgot about it and I've lost the info sheet with all the stuff on it, the kids wanted to watch!

yeah, you can normally see them for about 3 consecutive nights.

Best advice I can give is to try and get away for nearby light pollutions (street lights etc), let your eyes adjust to the dark (don't look diectly at any lights for about 20-30mins) and the later you look, the better really. And then



and enjoy

Thank you Snickas

Yeah couldn't see anything last night, I was here on my own so didn't fancy going to the park at 12am might see if Mum wants to go tonight though!

hoping this cloud clears for this evenings jaunt out to see this

Haha. You'll be seeing double.

Which direction should one be looking please?

pmsl lol

Look towards Perseus, up in the sky to the North East.

Thankyou.

Wall-to-wall clag up here. No chance. Grrrrrrrr.

will there be any more tonight

yeah, you should be able to see some tonight. It won't be as many as the previous nights should've been (damn the weather grrr) but its well worth lying back and looking

The site I use to keep updated of whats in the skies

Fingers crossed. The skys clearing up round here. I might have a look tonight after dark. I may get to try out my new camera tripod whilst I'm at it.

it looks like we're finally gonna get a clear night

I would love to see some shots of the meteorite shower!
one of the best photos i ever seen was this one

has anyone seen anything yet???

I know the clouds are still hovering over BUT we saw 4 in a space of about 30mins, one was a really good one.
just keep diving out now waiting for a break in the clouds...if anyone lives past Leasowe, Moreton to West Kirby, you'll be getting some amazing views in the skies tonight.
