I'm heading out for a great view from my hammock in the Porcupine Mtns. to watch this!

looks like the perfect place to be

Yes, the Perseids should be in their most visible, up to 100
an hour IIRC.

Very nice spot

I was camping at Mt Rogers last year for Perseids and it was my first year to see them. For anyone that has not seen it you should make a point to get out and see them. It is spectacular. Enjoy.

My wife and I hung last night (her first night hangn') and watched the meteor shower in the Texas Hill country. Saturday, morning we had a rate of 60 meteors per hour between 4-5am CST. We also helped with a star party near (well 40 miles south of) our camp site using our 10" dobsonian reflector telescope.

AAAAAAAANND...we have cloud cover. Naturally.

We've been seeing the start of it for the last few nights actually... planning to watch from the hot tub tomorrow night.

Yep plenty of cloud cover, hopefully we get clear skies tomorrow night

Same. Cloudy.
Tonight?
