The 2034 pass probably wont be visible - it'll be too light.

It'll be fine for radio dxing of course.

Far too much cloud outside at the moment for meteor watching.

Seen a few last night, tonight it is very clear , fingers crossed.

...I'm absolutely frozen ..and finding it hard to type ..
..but what a spectacular night ..
Saw my first amazingly bright meteor at approx 10:30 pm ...and my last around 1:50AM ..
gave up counting after 30 ..
Skies perfectly clear from arounfd 12:30 ..and still they come..
but I'm so cold and by neck aches ..
Worth the discomfort..
I should say so..

What a treat that was...
gnite all ..hope you fared as well as I did.

hope you fared as well as I did.

Sadly not. Stayed outside in a reclining chair looking spacewards for half an hour or more.

Unfortunately there was quite a bit of high cloud obscuring a lot of the sky which made things a bit difficult but it was the biting insects that finally drove us inside!

We didn't see the showers last year or the previous one as we were touring but three years ago we did see a lot of them and even one fireball. So I'm not too sad.

We had a mixture of clear skies and small local thunder storms in Helsinki. I managed to see four meteors (even under the city lights) but never managed to get them on camera. The lightning was quite infrequent too so just got this one half decent photo.

Edit: Never mind, tried loads of times to upload but it won't go today.

Still worth looking until the 17Th anyhow.

I'm still trying to find the open shutter option of the £4 camera, and of course some meteors are not what they seem round the Heathrow circling areaView attachment 56798
