Anyone else see the SPECTACULAR Orionids this week???   They should still be shooting somewhat this weekend, if you're interested. I counted 29 in 5 minutes, night before last... I just now saw 5 in about a minute. Look NORTH, towards upside-down Orion.  Lis eta: if you're in Oz  Northern Hemispherians, look SOUTH, hehe.

Darn it, can't see any! There's clouds obscuring Orion here *grumbles* I'll look again later. |

I know the position isnt great to see the Perseids, as in Persis is below the horizon, but did anyone have any luck seeing any last week? A and I were talking about watching a meteor shower together(hes never seen one), this is a site I found about when and where specifics http://www.obliquity.com/skyeye/misc/meteor.html I love watching meteor showers here, and I was a little nervous about the southern sky being so "foreign" Anybody have any first hand experience of the good sky shows? |
