Yeh i was hoping for a clear evening to see some of these too - reckons best time is between midnight and dawn, but might see some a little earlier.

Hopefully its gonna clear as at the moment its cloudy and horrible here :(

Cow and Calf, that brings back some memories....I grew up in menston and haven't been back for years.....er decades  :surprised:

Perseid meteor shower is normally pretty good if you can get up high and away from the ambient lights of a city, best place I've seen them is from a camp site o/s Keswick....amazing skies

Well I watched for about 30 mins out of my bedroom window and saw seven, not exactly a shower, but still looked cool :smiley:
