Perseid Meteor Shower 2021-Tonight!

[GravityWaves]

Is anyone gonna be out tonight to see some meteors? It looks like I'm gonna luck out and have some clear skies so I'll take the telescope and be watching from a pretty dark sky. A new moon means there won't be any moonlight to blot out the dimmer ones, so up to ~100 meteors per hour could be seen in a good location. Activity usually starts picking up around midnight till daybreak. Below is a photo that shows where to look, the radiant will get higher in the sky all night.

If you go out to watch, keep a rough tally and I'd be interested in how many everyone sees.

Big storm tonight for me so I won’t be able to be out looking. 🙁

We've had overcast for a week solid. SUPER IRRITATING!
