Re: hazy but clear enough for perseids

We are at Otter Lake, QC this week.? Last night I had the 2 youngest? and my wife on the dock to watch the "falling stars".? The 6 six old I think pretended to see some meteors but I didn't believe him as I think he just wanted me to hear what I wanted to hear.? Like an overzealous nerd astro-dad i refused to let anyone off the dock until all 4 of us witnessed a Persied together.? I got my wish and they all left me on the dock.? Funny enough....the action subsided after they went back into the cottage.? However after about 45 mins of nonethingness I was rewarded with a beauty with a 20 degree plasma trail to the south.
cheers, Albert.

Hi Folks
Last night I was driving across Saskatchewan in the middle of nowhere. No clouds and no smoke. About a million stars and a bright Milky Way. Bright meteors occasionally flashed across the sky. I had forgotten how nice the sky can be when there are no people nearby.
Have a great day.
Bob
