mort Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 It's supposed to peak on wednesday night but you might see some tonight if we get a clear patch. Look towards Cassiopiea which is the big W shaped constellation . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield666 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I hope it will be clear tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimo Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 So is anyone going to watch for the meteor shower, visible (clouds permitting) between now and 15 August? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pighills Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 My dd is out at the moment and has just seen a meteor come over (North Yorkshire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julado Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 So for those of us in Sheffield what should we be looking for and in which direction please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mort Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Look for the constellation cassiopiea which is a big W shaped one and usually quite obvious and you should see some meteors unless of course we're under the usual thick blanket of cloud. The peak is on wednesday night but you should get some on the days either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karis Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Did this last year, and really, it's surprising by how many meteors you see. Pretty cool, actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
