The Perseids Meteor Shower 2015..,.

[Verinda]

Cloud last night and so far it's cloudy tonight but the forecast is for clear skies and I can see patches of blue appearing. If it clears we're heading off to find darker skies to see the display

[jackarmy]

Apparently its just before dawn that is the prime time in uk

[Verinda]

It's cloudy here. Every year we hope to see them on my sons birthday and it's almost always cloudy, but maybe tomorrow!

I can see stars here - but don't know which direction to look for the meteors - apart from Up

[Nicos]

NE fairly low on the horizon at 11pm for max numbers to see.

Have a look at my link in the 1st post...last piccie shows exactly where

Thunder and lightning here...very pretty , but in a different way!

[veggiechicken]

Thanks Nicos. I missed that. So its just above Capella, BM's twinkly star. I know where that is!
Shame that angle is straight into the big oak tree and the hills behind the house

VC - I would have gone to the allotment but it is surrounded by trees and a big wall at that point - upstairs front wee bedroom window might give the best view - I'll have a look

I've just waved to the ISS but no other action!

And I bet your wish was " hope this stiff neck doesn't last long" ?

Sat out on my reclining chair and spotted 6 in a very short time

Forgot I was supposed to make a wish! Is it too late?
