East Coast Members.. Meteor shower @ 130am

I can't stay awake past 10:00 p.m. anymore

 

Old age is great isn't it.....

 

Why did I know that you'd chime in

 

I cant sleep when i get off work, 3-11:30pm.

I looked about 10 more times but didnt see any meteors. I can almost swear i seen a star disappear, and another one got brighter than moved. LOL maybe i was tired

 

The leonid meteor shower is supposed to peak tonight. There could have been activity last night...But I would actually look tonight/tomorrow morning a couple hours before sunrise. Look for mars too while you're looking!! It'll be a little due south.

EDIT: 1am-2am is the best time to look too. Just like you said.

 

so i wont see anything out on the west coast. vancouver,BC Canada to be precise

 

I watched for a little while last night but it was way too cold. I also found an article on the internet that said it wasn't until 4am- I was disappointed because I wasn't trying to stay up that late.

You say theres going to be more tonight between 1 and 2?

 

We saw one flying last night about 6:40 PM central.. So is it tonight? 18th AM?

 

I wish I knew. I need to know if I'm staying up til 4am lol.

 

Yes! As in 18th AM. It's always confusing when they talk night and dates. Usually it peaks around the 17th and 18th...which happens to be tonight I'll be out with my camera...I'll try to post pics! If I can find my damn tripod.

I've had luck seeing the most activity around 1-2am...but there's definitely a good chance this year for it to continue into the dawn hours. NASA expects around 500 meteors an hour.
