Perseid meteor shower 2016
« on: August 12, 2016, 10:37:28 PM »

Has anyone seen any shooting stars this year yet?

They fascinate me. As a child my Dad use to take me out the back garden of our council house & point out all the constellations. I will try & get out there tomorrow night - trouble is I get a stiff neck.  >:(

We saw a load last night but I haven't bothered to look tonight. Fabulous memories of you and your dad.

Yes they were good memories.

I just hope I remember to have a look tomorrow night - can't be bothered tonight.

I waited until the rugby 7s gold medal match finished on Thursday night  :) before having a quick look before heading to bed. I was only outside about 15 minutes and saw 2, it was cloudy here last night so couldn't see any  >:(

What is the best direction to look?
I've just had a look northwards which is what it was last year but nought happening.
