Perseids Meteor shower

Between July 18 and August 18th there is a meteor shower, the best show of the year – The Perseids. It peaks on August the 12th. The persieds is a high frequency shower, as in 60 per hour! Minimum! with all sorts of amazing variations. NE after midnight, more definite pointers will be on the way… but some strays have been seen already so keep your eyes relaxed and scoping the whole sky (rather than peeled – OUCH!)
