I saw 15, 13 of them in the early Thursday morning when I uncharacteristicly was up at 5 AM (I was driving a school bus on our longest bus route). I was 20 minutes early at the school, so I stood in our football field and looked up for 15 minutes or so. We are out in the country, so we do have dark skies. The other two were early birds, one on Monday and the other on Tuesday.
Eastern Oklahoma had clear skies, thankfully.

We were out from 1:00 AM CT to about 1:30 and saw at least 30. It was a bit hazy. I would have liked to have been on Lake Superior I am sure the show there was great.

Zero! Stayed up until 2am and had a fair view of the stars, but we had a little too much urban light pollution for good meteor viewing. Kind of a bummer. I should have stuck to my original plan of going for a short overnight trip in the mountains. That's what I get for being lazy, I guess.

I was out early a couple of mornings around 4:30....had coffee on the back deck and watched the sky.....only saw about 6 total, but a partly cloudy sky limited my view.....

I saw quite a few before I fell asleep, in the reclining lawn chair.

From the Kern River, I saw maybe 2 or 3 an hour Wednesday night. Fewer on Thursday night.

None for me. We had heavy clouds through Thursday. Friday might have been better, but I had only a little bit of city-lit sky to peer at. Saturday brought fairly good conditions (though still too much background light), but no action.

I watched in the early morning, 4:00amish. I saw a few, but one was a wonderful, big, bright, with a great shinning tail. Whoooooooooosh. aaaaaaaah.

We didn't see any at their peak (for the same reason SWT mentioned, rainy cloudiness), but we saw a few the previous weekend, out camping in the foothills with my kids. Clear night, they saw a couple good ones. Woulda been quite the show if we were there at the peak of the showers on Weds. No matter though, I'm glad it's an annual event, and have seen them in their full glory on other occasions alone in the alpine.

Best show I've ever seen. It was extremely clear in eastern, NC and the Milky Way was out in full force. Saw approximately 30 in 1 1/2 hours and 2 that I like to call long burners that just seemed to zip across the sky forever. I tried desperately to get a photo but my point-n-shoot camera only allows the shutter to remain open for 15 seconds. I got some neat shots of the night sky but nothing impressive. EDIT: One of the few benefits of working night shift, I was wide awake at 2:00 AM  |
