Thanks guys, and keep up the observing!!
This from Spaceweather today -
The Perseid meteor shower is about to peak. The show begins after sunset on Tuesday, August 11th, and continues until the sun rises on Wednesday, August 12th. A time of particular interest is 0800-0900 GMT (1-2 a.m. PDT) on the 12th. That's when Earth is expected to pass through a denser-than-usual filament of dust from Perseid parent Comet Swift-Tuttle. Forecasters are unsure what will happen, but some have speculated that meteor rates could surge as high as 200 per hour. Bright moonlight will blot out many of those Perseids, but even a fraction of 200 is a good show.
0800 -0900 GMT on 12/8 ... this is US based, but does that mean 1800 hrs our time ... which is the evening?? Not sure how to work that out.
Otherwise will stick to Vincents Thurs am ... fingers crossed.
