[Liz]

Just been outside for 45 min - saw 6 meteors but no Lyrids. :sadeyes:
They are a more northerly shower, but I will try again tomorrow am 22/4, when they are supp to peak. :thumbsup:

ps .... Comet K5 is quite low in the NE so hard to spot, also cloud in that area this am.

My alarm went at 2am ..... but I couldnt get out of bed, though tried. Head was stuck to the pillow, a pleasant dream lingering in my thoughts, legs wouldnt move. It prob was cloudy, I hope so anyway, goodbye Lyrids until next year. :shrug:

Not a lot of action on the Lyrids last night, 21/22,Apr,2012, though it was quite clear for a change ? I seen two Lyrids @ aprox mag 0 from GC burbs around midnight, 20mins apart, so packed the tripod & cam, short trip to The Spit for the darker sky to the NE over the Ocean ! Camera doing auto's & the Phone App "Meteor Counter" in hand for NASA !

From about 1:30an to 4am'ish, Not many sparks at all : ( In this time, a Total of 4 Lyrids seen and identified coming for the Radiant, Three of these were around Mag -3 & one was near mag 0 again ? Also seen two nice mag 0 sporadics ! Thus ends another quite Lyrid experience ; )

10-4, over & out , , ,
