waiting as well. Sky is pretty clear over G.I. so hopefully get to see something. Thanks for the heads up OP.
Chilled for about an hour and a half, didn’t see any huge event, probably about 15-20 shooting stars overall. A few of them were fucking huge! Overall, overrated. Hopefully someone got a good video of the whole thing and we can all check it out in the morning :tup:
Got out of work right at 3am, went home and watched a little from my back deck. That reminds me that I could use a hot tub…
Seemed like very bright stars, colored more blue than usual, some were shooting…
A little too cloudy here to fully enjoy…
fml. nothing as of just now
edit: stood in a field for 45 mins. took 20 pics. none of meteors.
edit2: wow that was a waste. somehow in my hurried reading tonight I thought a higher iso was better. took 2 pictures on iso 80, the rest turned out horrible as I thought 1600 was best. fuckin noob
ugh even these suck
I woke up at 5:00, I think it was too late. Where were they east, west, north, south?
Channel 4 said there would be more tonight, I think at midnight.(?)
woke up at 4:45 to go to the gym…it was very clear skies, but didnt see anything
A few websites said south east. A think I might have seen one small one. Midnight would be a lot better. Shit, I can’t believe I got up at 4.
We were watching directly south, things happened on both sides and down the middle.
i was out at about 1 and saw 4 in total. one really big one that made my night and pleased me so i didnt sit outside in the cold for a while.
wish i had my saturn still on the road, i could have just sat inside that and looked through the sunroof lol.
all in all it was a nice clear night actually.
After reading the original article I thought they wouldn’t be around until 4:00am so I layed wide awake not even thinking to look before 4. I fell asleep at 3:30 and woke up again at 5:00 and missed it!
I am sure I will be awake tonight as usual. I hope I get to see at least one. lol
I read something about not getting very many last night, so now they’re planning for 2am on the 18th
Any links? I wouldn’t mind confirming that before I wake up at 2AM on a worknight.
I woke up at about 2:45 for a look. Got outside and tried to decide if it was worth going to a hilltop to look, but it was way too cloudy.
same here except I never fell asleep. I think I got about 2 hours of sleep last night.
and +1 on a better confirmation of time. I would really like to catch a few, but I cant be up all night looking
Me and the girl went to Spaulding Lake and layed out in a field from 4am-4:45am and literally saw maybe five meteors each. They weren’t even good ones.
Thank god for delicious timmy ho’s apple cider otherwise it’d be a total waste.
