I was at work last night cleaning me petrol station forecourt and I did see a few good ones. I get a cool view of Mercury at about 4.10 am. I will see if I can get a nice picture tonight and I will post it tomorrow. I will be looking up tonight to see if I can see any shooters.

Tonight (Sun 12th) is THE night............


Between 9pm and 3am...........30 miles a second these bits of dust are going!

"If we're lucky, on Sunday night and Monday morning we might see as many as 100 meteors an hour," said Dr Robert Massey from the UK's Royal Astronomical Society.
