No it is tonight. See the Sky & Telescope page:
http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/home/52204947.html We should pass though the 1610 stream around 9UT, but there may be another, smaller peak around 5UT and the "standard peak" should be around 18UT. All of them tonight. -- Richard Kowalski http://fullmoonphotography.net IMCA #1081 --- On Tue, 8/11/09, Matthias Bärmann <majbaerm...@web.de> wrote: > From: Matthias Bärmann <majbaerm...@web.de> > Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids Tonight > To: Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com, bernd.pa...@paulinet.de > Date: Tuesday, August 11, 2009, 4:47 PM > Jan, Bernd & other Perseids > aficionados , - > > as far as I'm informed the climax this year is expected for > the night > wednesday/thursday = next night. > > My best, > > Matthias > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <bernd.pa...@paulinet.de> > To: <Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> > Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 1:25 AM > Subject: [meteorite-list] Perseids Tonight > > > > Jan writes: "So far only saw 2 Perseids in one hour." > > > > So you are among the lucky ones!
