Thanks for the info. It’s supposed to clear up here (mid-MI), and I would love to see me some meteors.

However, trying to spy one every 6-12 minutes sounds like a lot of work. Not sure I have the patience or the neck flexibility for it.

Lie on a blanket or folding lounge chair.

Went outside for about five minutes last night and saw a good one. Skimmed through the atmosphere for about a second, made a long trail, going N to S.

As far as neck flexibility, I used one of my children’s swings (long abandoned). Leaned back into it, and let it hold me at a 45-degree angle, looking up.

I was up at 5 this morning and as usual walked over to the companionway on my boat to gaze out and wait on my coffee pot I’d just turned on. Without n the 10 minutes it takes for the pot to finish I saw 2 in the southern sky. Poured me a cup of coffee and went back to gazing. Saw quite a few before it got light.

I was out early this morning. Clear skies. I live in Ocean County NJ. My backyard faces due east. The Atlantic Ocean is about ten miles due east of my back door. Never any light pollution. Had a good time.
