RASC Hamilton Perseids meteor shower

[Ron Shields]

Hi All,
Live on the southern edge of Hamilton near Rymal Rd.. Relatively dark sky for an urban setting. Beautiful night. I was able to see about 15 bright meteors with 3 fireballs that left vapour trails between 11:40 a.m. and 1 a.m.. At 1 a.m., it went from 0% cloud cover to 90%, in about 5 minutes. Not a bad show up to that time.

The wife and I sat on our deck and watched about a dozen before the clouds started to roll in.  

Good luck to all those that brave this night to see them...

>> Last night Australia recorded on average 30 meteors per hour and we are yet to be in the main section until the wee hours of Sunday. Although tonight is still one day early, Andria and I will be at the observatory with our lawn chairs and blankets. If anyone would care to join us, you would be most welcome. According to the CSC it should be clear about 11pm so we plan to be there at or about 10:30.
