Last night's meteor watch was a little frustrating. Oh, the sky cleared nicely after midnight and the rate of meteors was the best yet, but there were few really good ones and the ones that did show came in fits and starts. I watched until about 2:00AM or so and saw a peak rate of about 50-55 per hour. The dark of the sky was nice and I saw some in parts of the sky that would have been too bright given any sort of moon, but they were all quick and not many were bright at all.
We are supposed to have storms in the area tonight, so that might but an end to my Perseid viewing at least until tomorrow night.
