The only time I was able to see a good meteor shower was about 1978, and it may have been the Perseids...don’t remember.
Laid out in ghe bed of my truck, had some couch cushions in it, had a beer and just watched. Now I wish I had brought a camera. At times I saw 5 or 6 at once. Incredible...finally crawled off to bed around midnight with more still flying around, had to be up for work at 6...
I’ve gone out and watched a few times since, never even saw one...not one...oh yeah, one last year...just one...
I was out last night until about midnight, when I fell asleep on the chaise.
I saw four really nice ones.
Then the moon rose and washed the sky out and I called it a night.
The moon will be coming up an hour later each night, so I’ll give it another go tonight, which is supposed to be better viewing anyways.
