Woke up about 2AM the last 2 days, from the sack I have about a 20% view of the sky through an East facing window. Really nice shower, guestimate about 100 per hour for whole sky, most very bright. Likely will try again tonight. The clouds down in S UT seem to clear in the middle of the night. Steve
Yeah -- I saw a bunch, maybe 50 per hour Monday early AM. I somehow had my months mixed up and was expecting Leonids, so I was curious why the meteors seemed to be from all over. But Gemini was pretty high. So it was a nice effect -- really meteors from all over. I even saw one from the car on I80 driving by the 1300 E exit -- so that one must have been really bright.
