It will be good....But sept 1st will possibly be the best in our lives! Some are predicting 1000 per hour!!! The Perseid's will be long bright "skippers" it will be a beaut!.....Look to the east find mars (the big bright red "star" that doesn't twinkle) and look a little up and left at the constellation Perseus (showers are named for the constellation that is in the background) I.E. the geminids come from the constellation Gemini the Leonid's from Leo and so on.....Have fun watching!
 
I never saw meteor shower in my lifetime. Not even once.:(

I have seen this from 10,000 feet altitude while hiking the High Sierra wilderness, perfect visibility, it is quite spectacular.
that would be really cool!

and i might try to get a crappy vid for the people who cant get out of there chairs and go outside. :ROFL:
 
bout to go outside. Kind of cloudy though :( First clouds in weeks! I will look all night if I have too!
 
Just saw my first one:headbang2 :headbang2 :headbang2 :headbang2 :headbang2 It was pretty a slow skipper!!! Good luck ....P.S. I saw it almost over head looking due east!!!
 
The peak is tomorrow night FYI guys :( I just read it a lil closer and it will be tomorrow night.
