I will be posting some more detailed information about it on Wednesday Morning. I am hoping the phase of the moon will help make this a worthwhile viewing experience.

I did bookmark the site, never been to a site like this before but on the news I heard about the meteor shower and was up late anyway so decided to stay up even later and check it out. I googled metor showers and that's how I came upon your site. So Dec 22 there will be another meteor shower? Bev That’s about what I saw, one every 3 to 5 minutes.

I am seeing about 1 every 3 to 5 minutes. To be honest I am not much of a trooper when it comes to the cold weather. An interesting fact is the moon is actually at it's closest to earth during it's orbit right now and the moon is the "fullest" it will be all year. Under perfect new moon conditions you would be seeing about 1 to 3 meteors a minute! Keep your head up and bookmark the site. December 22nd could be better! - Meteor Mark Bev,

I have seen several "streaks" but saw one that looked like a little fireball - it was spactacular! I had to come in and get warm but will head back out in a few minutes. I am in North Central Alabam and it's a little chilly here tonite. I am staying up late to watch the sky tonite.
