We went out last night and sat in the garden for an hour and saw four :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: two were quite small and quick but the other two were good strong streaks. :) It looks clear again here for tonight, so will go out again for a looky see :)

Well done Pandora, as for me I saw nothing but cloud. :(
Its been really clear here all afternoon, and I was hopeful that it would remain so tonight but even as I type the white fluffiness is already creaping overhead. :shock:

Had the first half decent clear night up here for what seems like ages, the seeing wasn't good enough to make it worth getting the scope out and of course the Persieds have now peaked, but I did manage to see two, very short, less than a degree, and very faint meteors from the south east.
I live in hope. ;)
