I wish I didn't live in the Eastern Seaboard of the US sometimes.

It's about the Perseids!! Hooray for extra-terrestrial debris.

Fuckin' A, like 60% cloud cover.

I saw two. Tomorrow and the next day at the peaks though so I am hoping for more.

I saw a fair number last night - including two that left trails

Awesome

I'll take these over the ones that occur in the depths of winter!

what time did y'all get out there? before dawn is the best, right?

8/11/2010 9:06:11 AM

I was out between 4 & 5am. They say anytime after midnight should be decent.

i want to try taking some exposure shots tonight with my camera, but i just looked at the forecast and it is supposed to be cloudy...FIGURES

i guess i'll just get up and play it by ear

With the onset of that cold front we might be hosed.

I saw one last night at about 11 PM. I usually don't even try because my neighborhood is pretty well lit at night.

Yeah, it's not looking good. Not sure I'm gonna stay up all night to look at clouds.
