Meteor count August 6-7 2012

mtbdudex · 6th of August 2012 (Mon)

I'm up here in hillman Michigan on vacation thru Wed.
Pretty dark skies.
Brought my scope and gear, once set up for imaging just looking up at the sky I've seen 20 meteors in just under 1 hour.
Very active skies, even once the moon rose I saw 3.

What's others seeing now for meteor count?

Over about 2 hours I saw one nice one, and captured 4 others (small). Will either try again tonight or tomorrow whichever will have the best skies. These were taken near Kewaskum, WI. 30 second exposures.

Heavy crop.

Yup, and sometimes you have to view when the skies are clear, or when you're not at work.
