Hi all,

any advice on when and where to look out for the peak in Persied meteor activity.

Thanks, Huw.

The calender says the 13th

Normally the best night is reckoned to be the night of the 11th - well actually the morning of the 12th (after midnight is usually better).

But Saturday / Sunday / Monday nights should all be good.

I understood it to be at 2am on the Sunday morning (13th). Pretty sure I've seen this in a few places, but haven't checked. Of course, 100% cloud cover predicted for Glasgow. I've spotted a few this week already. I saw 4 on Tuesday night (with 2 sporadics) but only 2 last night (with 3 sporadics). Both observing sessions being about half an hour long.

Cheers, Martin
