Well guys I just have to tell you this Meteor shower was great from up here in the top end.
I have been out both yesterday morning and this morning.
Yesterday saw a rates of about 25/hr and this morning was 35-40 /hr, with the uncertainty being because of a band of high cloud that came through in the middle of the observing session.
There was a high number of bright persids this morning that left trails, with some lingering for a second or two.
I was not alone in my viewing, yesterday I shared it with a visitor from Adelaide & this morning Prof. Ray Norris & I enjoyed the views and a good brew of Coffee.
Apart from that, it was worth going out at 4 am, if only to get awesome views of Andromeda, sitting high in the morning skies, filling the field of view of my 16x60 bino's.
