Perseids Meteor Shower
The Perseids Meteor Shower should peak late on Tuesday night. The radiant point for this shower will be in the constellation Perseus. Look to the northeast after midnight.

That was a problem here also. The weather cooperated later in the evening, so we were able to see the show, but we could see only the lager meteors over the glare of the city lights.

There was too much haze (smoke, dust and humidity), so I only saw a few of the larger bits. I wish I'd been with jseal, the lager meteors sound delicious.

That gives them plenty of time to prepare the lager ones for my enjoyment.
