Lyrids meteor shower

[torqueofthedevil]

Going to peak on the 22nd - anyone watching? Anyone watched before?

I see quite a few shooting stars when I am driving, then when am at home and an event such as this happens, it rains or I need to be in work the next day (best times are usually after midnight as the Earth turns into them).

i hope its clear.

Bump....tonight is supposed to be the best night

Is there anything visible tonight?

[jmorgan]

Should be a few more nights left (25th?), tailing off. Be better after midnight for our location I would have thought as the Earth turns into it?

Misty here anyway.

(O/T but if you've got an Android phone, have a look at the Meteor Shower Calendar app.)

Misty over ere too. Can make the moon out through it. Going to have a look out after 12. Which direction should I look at?

Sorry Wyn, long day today so got some zzzzz.

NE and high for these I think (looked at Starry night when this thread popped up so may be wrong).
