Just thought you all would enjoy this  image. You've gotta see this! Great 
night photo of the meteor showers, by David A. Harvey, a professional 
photographer based in Tucson Arizona.

Greg, Michael, List,
Glad to hear that many of you were able to enjoy the show.
I spent three days up in the White Mountains, east of Bishop, CA, near the 
Nevada border. The area is home to the Bristlecone Pines - the oldest 
living things, at up to 4,000 years old. Being in the rain shadow of the 
Sierra Nevada, we didn't see a single cloud the whole time. The sky was 
very transparent, and dark enough that we were able to easily see the 
zodiacal light beginning around 3:00 or 3:30. We enjoyed plenty of DSO 
observing early on, when we weren't just sitting back watching for 
meteors. I didn't have a counting device, but I'd estimate we saw about 
100 before midnight, and another 200 between midnight and 4:00. They 
seemed to be almost equally divided between bright ones with ion trails 
and faint ones without. Of the bright ones, almost half of them had 
persistent trains, visible over 60-90 degrees across the sky. The shorter 
ones probably spanned  10-15 degrees. We had a couple of long "skippers", 
an orange "firework" that seemed to explode and then fall, and even a very 
bright one that might have qualified as a bolide. A great night, all in 
all. One that I'll always remember.

We had clear skies here in southwest CO.  I was out watching starting  at 
about 9 PM.  Saw an eyepopper of a meteor at about 9:15.  Long  tail, 
orange tint to it.  I'm certainly no expert on meteors but sure  looked 
to me like this one made it into dark flight.  I've seen a  daytime 
fireball and watched the big one that went over to California  a while 
back at night but the first one I saw last night was by far  more 
spectacular to see.   Last night, I also watched several that  were 
multiple pieces of 3 or more traveling side by side.   They went  pretty 
much directly overhead going north to south.  For the last few  years we 
had clouds during the Persieds.  Nice to finally get to watch  some of 
the shower.

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids over the Mt. Lemmon 60"

[Richard Kowalski]

A few people have commented privately about the length of exposure of the image.

I know Dave was using an equatorial mount for his camera. I don't know the 
particulars, but my guess is that he made one image of the dome and then 
combined that with several tracked images of the sky with the meteors.

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2010

[Chris Peterson]

It's not on my camera, although it could be on one of the others in the 
network. You can keep an eye on the overall activity in central Colorado by 
watching the real-time output of the Guffey camera at 
http://www.cloudbait.com/meteor/showraw.php . No images are posted here, but 
you might notice a common event with something witnessed, or see when 
activity picks up.

Hi Chis,
You might see if you captured video of one that took place at 9:15 or
thereabouts tonight.  I watched it go from north to south or southeast
a bit.  It was west of Montrose.  It was a spectacular thing to see
with a long trail behind it.  I'd call it a small fireball. I would be
interested in knowing if you caught it on your cameras.  I'd sure like
to see it again if you did.  Might have been a sporadic meteor.

the shorter the trails are!

Bernd,

Last year Mary and I both saw one at the radiant.  I thought there was some
slight lateral movement.  She said there was none.  Only later did I
vacillate between being scared that I (or she!) was a target and
disappointed that these things have to burn up.  

Still a bright, warm afternoon here in SoCal.  Another five or six hours
before we take a drive up to the hills a little bit away from the lights.

[Matthias Bärmann]

Starting at about 10 o'clock, walking over the fields together with my dear 
wife, pretty cloudy sky with only a few windows to the stars and - yes 
indeed, 2 nice Perseids flashing silently in the West. One for each of us, 
that's not the richness of Aladin's cave, but we're happy about them and 
launched our wishes as fast and as silent as the meteors appeared and 
disappeared. Aladin couldn't have been luckier.

Dear Carl:

Thank you for those very kind comments. Sorry I was slow in writing  
back. I was too busy laughing at Mike Farmer's post claiming that  
somebody other than him was making the meteorite world look bad.  
That's a bit like Stalin complaining that there's too much violence.


Anyway, regarding your question. Since our show is still being aired  
on a regular basis, there are no immediate plans to release it on DVD,  
but it is something we hope and expect in the future. And I'm pleased  
to report that there are many other exciting plans for the future of  
the show which will be announced in due course.


Hopefully those who enjoy learning, meteorite science, and adventure  
television shows will continue to watch and enjoy it. Those who prefer  
to sit on their extremely large backsides and libel their betters  
will, doubtless, find some small pleasure in that too.



Cheers and all the best,

Geoff N.

streams.  The challenge this year is that the peak will take place in  
the glare of a waning gibbous moon.

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.

So you are among the lucky ones! No Perseids here so

far :-(

It is cloudy but I caught a hole in the clouds and was

able to

see the Summer Triangle, Hercules (Keystone), the Big

Dipper,

and, of course the last quarter Moon, ... but no

Perseids :-(



Guess it's not too much firework so far


A possible surge in activity is expected for 08-09 hrs

UT, which

translates
into 10-11 hrs MESZ, so, no big deal tonight / tmorrow

morning for us here

in Europe.


Best from cloudy
Southern Germany,

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids Tonight

[Gary Fujihara]

Hey Tracy, where are you in Hawaii?  Felicia is pretty much dissipated  
into a tropical depression, and it was sunny and clear in Hilo  
earlier.  Another challenge besides looking for sucker holes in the  
clouds is the glare of a waning gibbous moon that'll rise after  
midnight ... just as things should start perking up for the Perseids.

Hi Bernd/All,

Had a spell out observing just before midight and also only saw two 
Persieds...clouding up now ready for the rain forecast for tomorrow...so not 
worth staying up for here in the UK methinks.

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids Tonight

[Richard Kowalski]

Now I should also say that it may be "tomorrow night" for those of you who live 
ahead of Universal Time, in the Eastern Hemisphere...

As I write this the date and time is 00:20 UT on August 12th, though the local 
time here in Tucson is 17:20 MST on August 11th, , so the "standard peak" is 
still 18 hours away, during the daytime "tomorrow"...

Yes it can be confusing, which is why astronomers use UT (Universal Time) so we 
don't miss events because we live our daily lives on "local" time...

Dear Listees:

A friendly reminder that the Perseids are expected to peak tonight/
tomorrow morning for those of you who are enjoying clear skies. It is
unusually cloudy in Tucson at the moment.

Overseas members and those who don't get Science Channel, may enjoy

You can also find viewing tips for the Perseids, a meteor/meteorite

Yeah, the youth may be gone, but the rest is not t bad, well, if one is 
able to live it that way (.which mustn´t necessarily be true for anyone, 
btw)!

Thanks Doug for sharing this! Your German is excellent, how did you manage to 
find this little Peter Alexander clip of 1958, as compared to good old Perry 
Como´s tune?

Hope life is good for you in Mexico, and you´re still going strong, and 
hopefully find some and some more fallen stars in your backyards...

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2006 ?

[Jason Utas]

Hello Robert, All,
 
After a day of hunting, we spent the early evening tonight stargazing in the relative darkness (compared to Los Angeles) of the Mojave.
 
All in all, I wasn't particularly wowed or disappointed.  We watched from sundown until a bit after the moon rose (about 8-10pm), and I'd have to say that the best display was within half an hour of darkness.  

 
It was pretty spotty - started with several bright white meteors within a few minutes, along with a pretty spectacular orange one that crossed a good portion of the sky, but overall it wasn't that great.  There were periods of ten or so minutes without a single meteor separated by either single meteors or occasionally two in a minute or so.  

 
Trains tended to be a good length, and there was one in particular that was rather interesting.  I only saw the very bright flash off to my right, but Peter said that the flash preceded a very long and fairly bright meteor.  I'm at a bit of a loss to describe exactly how this occurred, unless it was really two meteors - one coming right at us (the flash) and then another to create the long train that he saw.  

 
Other than that, probably three sporadics (way off course for Perseids), and one very bright satellite which we thought could've been bright enough to have been the international space station.  
 
Max temp. by the thermometer was 110 F - not pleasant, but could've been much worse, as a few of you fellow hunters might know ;)
 
Regards,
Jason

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2006 ?

[Chris Peterson]

Hi Bob-

Wow, not my experience at all. I only discarded about 5 obvious 
sporadics from the 95 meteors collected over three nights (70 of those 
from the night of Aug 11/12). Normally I'd have around 20, but the poor 
skies limited detections to bright meteors, which were mostly Perseids.


Because of bad weather, most of my images were collected between about 
2am and 5am, so there wasn't much movement of the radiant. Consequently, 
the radiant is very obvious in the image I linked earlier ( 
http://www.cloudbait.com/science/perseid2006.html ).


I fell off the meteorobs list a while back for some reason; if you'd 
like, feel free to post the above link there. This year appears to be 
above average for the Perseids once you factor in the combination of a 
bright moon and bad weather.

Hello Tom, Robert, and List,

Attempted to observe the Perseid shower from the Los
Angeles area, but even after taking into account the
moon light, marine layer haze, and other light
pollution this year's shower was still a decidely weak
display.

Our meteor counts were consistent with other reports
from profession observers around the world in that the
number of Perseids were roughly equal to the number of
Sporadic meteors counted for the same time periods.

Here is an example of one of those reports:


In prior years I've always observed the "sporadics" to
only total a small fraction of the count of Perseids.
This year, other than a couple "Earthgrazing"
Perseids, the more noteable meteors were either a
Sporadic or a fireball out of one of the 5 OTHER
meteor shower radiants that were occurring at that
same time.



Regards,
Bob V.

Hi :-)

In germany, in ulm, best weather from 4 o' clock in the evening to 
midnight (GMT +2). Saw about 25 big perseides in this night and one very 
bright bolide from the constellation cygnus into saggitarius. An after 
glowing trail, color turned white-blue with smoke. I think is was half 
past eleven, but I don't know sure.

(a) Interestingly, we saw more Perseids before midnight
than after midnight.

(b) We observed a slightly larger number of brighter meteors
before midnight.

(c) The ones after midnight seemed to be fainter, foreshortened
and *very* fast as we were looking for them closer to their
radiant which was now much higher in the sky.

(d) The very bright ones were all of an orange/yellow color.

(e) Several bright Perseid meteors left easily visible smoke trains.

Not Perseid-related - but just as exciting :-)

During moments of clear seeing and with "averted vision", we

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2004 from L.R.

[dfpens]

The Perseids from Pittsburgh, PA was a bust.

Partial clouds around 10:30 pm.  Saw a fairly bright one at 10:50 pm, which may have 
been a sporadic as it went north to south.  Clouds began to get heavier and by 2 am it 
was completely clouded over.  I quit when I began to feel the raindrops.

That one coupled with the one I saw on Tuesday night brings my total Perseids count 
for 2004  to 2 !!  I guess my ZHR is not very high.

Dave

RE: [meteorite-list] Perseids? + satellites

[Kerns, John (Space Systems)]

I attempted to post this yesterday, but I forgot to include the List in the
recipients.  
 
The Perseid shower appeared to be diminished this year, but I certainly
would not call it a bust.  I saw many Perseids during a two hour period on
both Sunday and Monday night from our astronomy club's observing site 10
miles northeast of Mt Palomar.  I did not try to keep a count of the number
that I saw, but I would estimate that the number varied from 10-20 to over
40 per hour.  My friend Dave was counting them Sunday night and he observed
close to 20 in a 40 minute period.  These numbers would probably be even
greater if I had an unobstructed view of the entire horizon and if I was
able to keep my eyes open.  I know that I nodded of several times Monday
night.  When I started to observe them last night (2AM Tuesday morning), I
saw 6 Perseids and two sporadics in a 1 minute period.  The meteors appeared
to cluster, seeing several in a couple of minutes and then nothing for
minutes at at time.  I did not witness any spectacular events, but several
of the meteors were brighter than 0 magnitude.  On Monday night I attempted
to observe the trails of the bright meteors in a pair of binoculars, but I
was successful only once on a Perseid in the North shortly before I went to
bed.  The trail persisted for about 30 seconds in the binoculars after the
visual sighting of the meteor and its trail.  I saw many short Perseids that
originated very close to the radiant.
 
As for the post from last night inquiring about seeing satellites, the
exists a very good web site that predicts satellite predictions for your
location. Go to
 
http://www.heavens-above.com/  
 
and enter your location information.  The site will give you predictions for
satellite crossings,  occurrences for Iridium flashes, and other interesting
information.  The satellite predictions are only for objects in which the
ephemeris is made public.  No military or classified satellite predictions
are included.  I would say that at least half of the satellites the I
usually see are not contained in the listing.  Anyway, to answer the persons
question, observing 20 satellites in a three hour period it not uncommon as
long as you are in a dark sky location and looking up.

RE: [meteorite-list] Perseids a bust

[Jonathan Brown]

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.

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
