Meteors tonight? 10th Sept

[ChrisLX200]

I seem to be picking up quite a few bright meteors tonight on the All-Sky cam, is there a minor shower currently going on ?

Dave France says it's the Piscids?

[ChrisLX200]

OK, he must be right then :-)  More than I expect to see on your average night anyway.

I noticed them fairly early on so Googled https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CDAQFjACahUKEwj-s--Iru3HAhVBOBQKHTp7BWU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fin-the-sky.org%2Fnewsindex.php%3Ffeed%3Dmeteors&usg=AFQjCNF5Y2e7JNzMFpNglpnxrEapGCacdg&sig2=8SBkCwMDsHdHHmmi-wj1-A

I did point it out http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/252317-shooting-stars-alert/but apart from you no one seems interested.

Sorry Dave I missed your original post!  I sometimes wonder how anyone keeps up with this forum - so many posts.

Didn't see any.   Most of the time my eye has been in the scope though

I did get a nice treat as I finished up around 22:15hrs. I was just admiring the Garnet Star and checking the Vixen 80m's collimation, when I had a nice bright meteor streak through my fov in the 8mm BST. I'd seen lots of sats earlier, but that was a nice finish :-)

No apology necessary, I know what you mean, the posts fly down the list and disappear into oblivion.

I have yet to pick up any meteors with my all sky camera   But clear night skies seem pretty rare ATM.

I'm not at all convinced the meteors I was recording were Piscids, only one (bright one) I think would trace back Pisces, the others were originating from somewhere to the NE.

This could be a Piscid (South is at the bottom):

But these are not?
