JeremyS Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 It is predicted that the Earth will pass through a rich part of the Perseid meteor stream on the night of August 11/12, which might result in enhanced meteor activity. For background info and advice on how to observe the Perseids, have a look at the article by Dr. John Mason on the BAA website: https://britastro.org/node/7922 Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus_X1 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Well....despite peering outside for half an hour ( it was a little misty ) I didn't see a single one. I then watched a 'live' NASA web display of the Perseids....and that didn't show a single one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
