Leonids meteor shower

[Eric]

Anybody see any the past couple of nights? The spike starts in a few hours...

I am headed out to my hot tub with a BBF and a cherry-limeade to see if I can spot any.

I saw one last night on the way to get family pictures...it was in the eastern sky.

Was to cloudy here to see anything

 

[Terrasco]

I took my son out and we looked, but we didn't see anything. Too much light polution or too low on the horizon.

 

[tubaman]

My daughter wanted to go out, but too cloudy. Bummer

 

[caudio51]

Didn't see anything here, nor did I hear about them.

When it wasn't too cloudy, it was too stinkin' windy. Not to worry. The Geminids are coming up in December.

 

[Jwrussell]

Couldn't see a damn thing. Clear sky, but light polution or too low on the horizon like Terrasco said. Dragged a bunch of neighbors out to the park around the corner for it too. OH well.

As a HAM we use these for Meteor Scatter.. (OK, I'll Splain)
You shoot a CW (Morse Code) signal at the Shower, and you may get a VERY weak station coming back, but this is VERY fast type stuff as you might guess. Kinda Exciting when you hear this and know your bouncing a signal off a Meteor. Also Moon Bounce is along the same lines..

OK, so I added something LESS interesting to some, but it IS EDUCATIONAL and this is good, Right?

Bonghits. That's what we used to do during the Leonids.

We were bouncing too.

By the way, it was cloudy here during the most recent shower, as most of the East Coast was, maybe the Geminids will be visible in December.

Clear and cold here.. Good Views!
After all the rain we been having it's starting to dry some and get some sun during the day also.
