Anyone out watching the Persied meteor shower?

[Earth_First]

Been up for a few hours now, on our second pot of coffee.

We've seen many, many so far. A few outstanding meteors ..

Enjoy!

1. Nope. Our first major rain in several months.

Ordinarily I would be upset at the fact it's cloudy AGAIN when something interesting is happening in the sky. But we really need the rain.

2. It's a bit patchy on the East Coast.

Saw a few good ones though. Got a few good moon shots in the mean time.

3. Which direction do I need to be looking?

5. Up towards the eastern sky, western sky,

northern sky, or southern sky?

I'm serious!
