Clairbear wrote: Went out to see the show and saw absolutely nothing Anybody out there see it It was a great big bust in NE pennsylvania Same here in northern Minnesota. I had high clouds that fuzzed things too much to image but it only cut my limiting magnitude from 6.5 to 5.5 so figured I'd watch the shower. From 1 to 2 I saw FIVE perseids and 8 from other showers and 3 sporadics. Clouds killed off the next hour, then from 3 to 4 it cleared down to magnitude 6.0 and I saw in that hour 12 from other showers, TWO Perseids, and 7 sporadic meteors. What a bust! The night before with some haze and magnitude 6.2 skies from 3 to 4 I saw 43 Perseids, 7 from other showers and 5 sporadic. It appears the shower came early, at least for me.
