[meteorite-list] Perseids a bust

2002-08-13 Thread Tracy Latimer

Sounds like the good folks in GB might have gotten the best show of all of
us this year; any reports from our observers on the Continent?

I usually take a fast look at the skies many nights, but it had
completely slipped my mind that the Perseid shower was the night of the
12th, so I didn't look, and nothing really caught my attention out the
windows.  There was also some confustion from friends who claimed the
fall was actually on the 11th, not the 12th.  Anyway, I saw nothing,
NOTHING!! (for those of you who remember Sgt. Schultz on the Hogan's
Heroes TV show.)

Well, here in Manchester (UK) things looked like they were going to be great
at 6pm, there was little cloud for a change, and the blue sky made me think
that it was going to be a good night. But as it got darker the cloud became
more prevalent and soon enough a fairly dense layer had built up - easy to
judge round here from the street light pollution bouncing off the cloud
base. So, personally, I was disappointed again. Still it could never compare
with one time years back when me and a bunch of friends laid outside
watching the shooting stars, not knowing just how fortuitous we were to have
picked that night of all nights to camp on top of a hill away from the
streetlights.
