Dear Listees:
A reminder for skywatchers and night owls that the annual Perseids
meteor shower is expected to peak late tonight/early tomorrow morning.
From UtahSkies.org:
Time for the annual Perseid Meteor Shower. The event has been going on
for a couple of weeks already as skywatchers have seen a dramatic rise
in meteor counts. Well, you ain't seen nothing yet. The Perseid's peak
very early on Friday morning (8/12). Highest counts are expected
between midnight and first light (5am). If you're under dark, clear
skies, you could expect to see upwards of 100 meteors per hour for a
while.

We've been experiencing heavy rain and storms for several days in
Tucson. Hoping for clear skies tonight.
Regards to all,
Geoff N.
