Thanks!
Meteors pouring out of constellation cameltoe...
Might be worth a look-see...
bttt
Hope it's like the Leonids I had the good fortune to witness 48 years ago.
There were probably a 1000 or better per minute right before dawn.
A truly amazing spectacle, never saw anything like it since.
The sky was nearly totally yellow/green meteors from my vantage point in south Louisiana.
It IS good work, and would have been better received on Youtube if you had not been so ego needy and sarcastic.
I don’t care how it’s received on youtube, I created it as information to be posted where needed. I didn’t even make it public; no need to give BPearthwatch more attention than he already has. You can take the information and free webcasts I provide, or leave them, makes no difference to me.
Clear skies are forecast for my hideout on Saturday night.
Forecast is clear for my location too, at the moment. Hoping it pans out!
Seems like most “astronomical events” happen during cloudy periods here. This one looks like it will no exception. I’m so bummed!
I just saw peak is at 4:00am. Huge damper!
Early to bed, early to rise...
I agree, but due to a commitment I won’t be able to go to bed until around 1:30 am, ungh.
I've been a space geek since I was a tot but our near constant cloud cover keeps me from seeing anything exciting. I remember missing the 1979 solar eclipse when I was in 5th grade and (aside from a couple of lunar eclipses) just about every space phenomenon since then.
Despite living at 45 degrees latitude I've never even seen an aurora.
Well... that’s no good lol.
Looks like the forecast is turning better for my location!! Really looking forward to this!
Clear sky clock was initially showing that it ought to be clear for me, now it’s starting to show the possibility of cloud cover starting right at 4am, right when I had planned to be webcasting! It is just a small patch though, I might be ok.
