Perseid spotting!

Went out to look for early Perseids (pre peak, ... saw one if you stretch
the radiant!) but ended up transfixed by Jupiter! Bugger me it looks good
naked eye tonight!

Bah humbug. Can hardly see the lights of the village a mile and half
away through the rain and hill fog let alone anything in the sky...

Same here. Between the wife and myself, we saw 4 (2 reasonable and 2 faily
good ) tracks in about 45 minutes. Played around in the milky way with the
binos for a while and decided to call it a day. Was just closing up the
house when I saw Jupiter, so out came the scope. Yes it was looking good.

Looked out from Edinburgh pre-dawn and we had complete haze here.

If you stretch the radiant? That's a little dishonest! 'Bugger me' and
'naked eye'! So you're an amateur astronomer all right but what does Rev.
stand for? ;-)
