Perseids Under Way

Naturally we have cloudy weather for the peak of the Perseid meteor shower.  I'm pretty bummed about it.

Edit: 8/13 - The clouds cleared for about 45 minutes, enough to catch 6 meteors, 3 of which were probably mag -1 to my eyes.  Also, very clear and black skies with low humidity revealed the Milky Way to the best I've ever seen it from my yard - a great view to end my night.


As sort of a consolation, I found this live stream from NASA.  You can watch and listen to the meteors as they pass.
