Anyone else out for the meteor shower?

If so, I missed the thread. Good show this morning...not tons, but more than I recall from any other shower this year. Up to three per minute and some nice long-arc and colors...

Looks like I'm advised to wait an hour according to local info... (sigh). Well, still psyched...

3. how did it go?

we got some really good ones. had one that burned greenish, lasted over 1 sec and left a visible trail...absolutely awesome. in about 1 hour's time (couldn't do anymore...tooooo cold) we saw, i would guess, about 70 meteors! great show this year...might even get some more tonight...

5. Where I am, it's overcast

I couldn't see the meteor shower behind cloud cover.

Does anyone have a link to the video or some pictures? I'd like to download some pics to use it for wallpaper.

I was thinking about it, but it's brutally cold here too.
