I camped out around the DWG in NJ hoping for an amazing show... and it just didn't happen :/ I stayed up until about 2am but didn't see much. I guess I spent the more time looking down and tending to my fire then I did looking at the stars. It was cold so the fire was definitely more important. I did see about 6 though, not TOO bad I guess.

the show was the best around 5:30am here...woke the 5 year old grandson up, took the tarp off the hammocks and we did the "ooooo, ahhhh" for about 1/2 hour till he crashed again...very nice!!!

Walked out my back door around 6 am and sat for 30 min.Saw 6 or 7 streaks but believe it would have been more if i were on the trail somewhere,and wish i had planned better.Very cool.Thanks to whoever started this thread.

As I stated before I'm in the wrong hemisphere but hopefully HB will remind me to watch for the Leonids next August....

I think the show is still going, it just "peaked" Saturday night. Just look in the area of the constellation Orion in a low light pollution area.

The Leonids this year should peak the night of Nov. 16/17, a night when the moon will set early, so it should be nice and dark.

Thanks!
I meant the Perseids but got the name confused due to Leo/August etc.
That's my excuse anyway.

This shower can be visible into early November with approx. 5 per hour depending on lighting conditions and location.

And I agree, thank you to the OP for posting!

Stayed up until 1am and never saw anything from the SNP. Got up about 4am for a pee break and saw a ton of stars but no meteors. But we still had fun hiking and camping and that's all that matters.
