Missed the rising due to the tall trees behind the house.
Caught it shortly before setting this morning.  | | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to jaybird0827 For This Useful Post: | |

Any more meteor showers coming up soon? | You're welcome! The next significant meteor shower, I think, would be the South Delta Aquarids in late July. See below for details: 2008 METEOR SHOWERS | Note:
July 28 - Southern Delta Aquarids Meteor Shower. The Delta Aquarids usually produce about 20 meteors per hour at their peak. The shower will peak this year on the night of July 28, but meteors can be visible from July 18 - August 18. The waning crescent moon should provide relatively dark skies and good viewing conditions. The radiant point for this shower will be in the constellation Aquarius. Best viewing is usually to the east after midnight.
August 12 - Perseids Meteor Shower. The Perseids is one of the best meteor showers to observe, producing up to 60 meteors per hour at their peak. This year's peak occurs on the morning of August 12, but you may be able to see some meteors any time from July 23 - August 22. The waxing gibbous moon will provide some interference in the evening, but after it sets, the morning hours should provide some spectacular viewing opportunities. The radiant point for this shower will be in the constellation Perseus. Look to the northeast after midnight.

Hey Andrew,
I'll try to catch them. People usually don't realize that the peak will be on such and such a date but that the nights leading up to the peak also will have meteors to be seen. So y'all, grab a blanket, your sweetie and watch the show!

The Perseids should really be a good show this year!
