Watching meteors tonight

[marcus]

I've seen two bright ones in almost no time spent watching
Pleides at zenith
a couple of brief ventures outside between 9:30 and 9:50 PM

GMT-7, I think.
they were both overhead going one NW and one SW.

[edit: no I am in GMT-8. Labguy reminded me. I keep forgetting because of daylightsavingtime changes, I guess]

It's cloudy here as usual. I've missed the Jupiter occultation and now this.

oh well at least I should get to see comet Machholz at some point.

they were both overhead going one NW and one SW.I was outside (testing new binoculars) for only about 15 minutes and saw three nice ones, one very large travelling from NW to SW. GMT -7 hours. Marcus probably lives next door to me and we don't even know it... :bugeye:

[Phobos]

I only managed about 10 minutes outside (1:30 AM) & saw 1 great one (brighter than Sirius), a couple good ones, and about a half-dozen faint ones. Wish I had planned ahead more to spend more time outside...it was a great meteor shower. Although there were several clouds in my area, the seeing was excellent and the moonless night really helped.

you know very well I live in GMT-8 Labguy and I do not live nextdoor to you!
I just forgot my timezone for a moment and said the wrong thing

I lament the overcast skies and the snowy weather in the northeast...

I wanted to watch the Geminids this monday, but after weeks of almost nothing but clear skies, it has now been cloudy from Saturday or so until today :grumpy:

I was on holiday but I still managed to see one faint one from my hotel.:frown: It happened to be facing south :smile:
