Prepare for the Perseids

The Perseid meteor shower peaks on the new-Moon night of Sunday–Monday, August 12–13, but it’s strong for several nights before and after that. On any given night, activity starts slowly in the evening and increases steadily to the hours before dawn.

Should be great viewing in New Hampshire... clear, cool night. Now if I can just stay awake until 2 AM...

The shower is supposed to be peaked from 2-4AM EST Sat-&-Sun.

I've been viewing some very nice meteors since 11:PM over the Chesapeake Bay
from Virginia Beach.

We observed from 3:00am to 4:30am PDT on Sunday morning (Sat night) from a dark sky site in California. I saw about 50 meteors in that window.

Last night I went out at 4:00am and observed for 5 minutes but saw no meteors. The cold, and lack of a meteor storm, chased me back inside.

Silly me, I just realized that your Perseid post is a YEAR OLD! :) Sorry...
