    Who watched the Perseid shower?
    Hey guys! I spent my night, from about 11pm-1am, viewing the annual Perseid meteor shower; it was fantastic! I was just wanting to hear you guy's experience with this, if any. Just curious! ;)

    Firmbeliever: The shower was visible in the whole northern hemisphere wherever there were clear skies.

    Yeah it was at bit hazy where I live but it was clear enough that we could see about 1 to 5 meteors per minute! Ahh Cap, you slept through it! Shame on you :P
