Just use the hashtag #Meteorwatch when tweeting.

If you’re interested in observing the shower, I urge you to find groups going out; it’s more fun with lots of people, and it’s easier to stay awake. Sky and Telescope’s website has a searchable list of clubs and organizations so you can find out who’s near you. Added bonus: Jupiter is up all night, so if you’re with a group of folks with telescopes you’ll get to see one of the best sights in the sky. Bring binoculars if you have them too; they’re easy to share.

The Perseids are a great way to get kids into astronomy, and a wonderful way to spend an evening. Have fun!

I'm in Manhattan now, and it's so foggy I can barely see the top of my building....I guess I'll have to wait for the next one.....

Did anyone else have a better view?

Yes Clip-on, I am fortunate enough to be on the Columbia gorge on the Oregon side, and just 10 miles East out of the metro lights, is a great view, of the Gorge. At night, it is truly fantastic. I only have bi-nocs and a 35mm portrait lens to view with, but the fresh air and the night sky is invigorating enough.

merrie: nice to see something else from you besides your usual Obama bashing. Sincerely.
