Hi *,

the moon might not be the problem this year. I can hardly see it through the clouds ;(.

Unfortunately, I live in one of the brightest cities in the world with no car. Otherwise, I'd drive to Overton to watch it.

Love meteor showers... Will def be outside tonight with a few beers. Good times

 

The Perseids were fantastic this year. The night before maximum I was sitting on a balcony on the 21st floor in Toronto and saw one burn up only a few km up above us. The next night was even better; I was in a soccer field in Mississauga, less light than the city but still lots of light around. And still I saw several bright meteors. One of them left a clear and bright dust cloud as it burned itself up above us. This year is the best I've ever seen them.
