Hello List, I went out between 4:00-5:15 AM Monday the 12th here in Little Rock, Arkansas to try to catch a "pre-peak-peek" at the Perseids. The sky was mostly clear then, and the forecast was calling for clouds and rain moving in Monday night. It was a good thing I did go then, because the weathermen got it right this time. Monday night was completely clouded out.
I didn't do an exact count for that hour and fifteen minutes on the 12th, but I'm certain I saw at least 50-60 meteors, if not more. Four of them were really nice, with persistent trains of a few seconds. And two others produced an almost "terminal burst flare-up" at the end that lit up a small part part of the sky like lightning. Judging from what some of the other members have said about the shower not being that good, it appears I got lucky. It got me really looking forward to the Leonids later on! Good luck to all of us for clear skies then. Sincerely, Robert Woolard __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
