You'll be pleased to know that I went up to AH last evening (Wednesday 8/11) to see the spectacular Perseid meteor shower!
Naturally, I was all alone, just me and my little red lantern. And one far off Barred Owl. What a hoot!
The sky was spectacularly stunning; bright stars, many clouds and about 40% clear, exactly where the radiant was. I did see the Cygnus nebulae through my binoculars.
From 9:30 until 1:30, I counted about 60 meteors - 4 Perseids, 2 accidentals, and 54 very slow movers, with red and green blinking lights on the tips. Boeings and Airbuses, likely.
Weather was good, about 60 degrees, and quite dry. Around 1:30, the sky started to get somewhat foggy, and so did I.
