Message: HTML is not enabled. UBB Code™ is enabled.	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Snaggy: [QB] It was a nice clear night, but not that spectacular a show for us. It started out good at 11:30 pm, I saw 4 meteors within 5 minutes or so, then a couple nice fireballs with trails, but then it kinda dried up around 12am. We did have an owl hooting nearby, and a bat scared the guano out of me by flying up close, but there were just a few more fast streaks and that was it for the next half hour. Can't beat staring up at the night sky though. :cool: [/QB][/QUOTE]

Snaggy Member # 123	posted August 12, 2010 17:12 Don't forget folks, tonight is the main event with the Perseid meteor shower... conditions look great here. http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/05aug_perseids/ (Just don't believe the media hype, you probably won't see a meteor every minute.) Wishing you all clear dark skies and no mosquitoes!

TheMoMan Member # 1659	posted August 13, 2010 04:07 ____ No but my 2 and 6 Meter antennas can, during meter showers hams use the ionized gases left behind to make long distance contacts with radios that will hardly get out of your yard. ____ 2 Meters good for less than 35 mile radius, riding a good ion track maybe 1k miles.

littlefish Member # 966	posted August 20, 2010 08:38 Time lapse video of the Perseids / milky way here. It's quite pretty.
garlicguy Member # 3166	posted August 20, 2010 13:53 As grateful as we are for rain in August around here, it rendered viewing impossible. Thanks to littlefish for posting a link with the remarkable videos! gg
Snaggy Member # 123	posted August 20, 2010 20:52 nice timelapse!
dragonman97 Member # 780	posted August 21, 2010 17:01 Oooh...that's awesome! Alas, it makes me wish Who was on tonight. :/ "I can feel the planet move."
