h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The Perseids meteor shower reaches peak activity on the
nights of Aug. 11/12 and Aug. 12/13. So beeline and I are recruiting
Researchers from across the northern hemisphere to take part
in a scientific survey by counting meteors on those two
nights.

Details can be found at http://www.h2g2.com/A411111 and
there is a link from there to the results page.

The sign-up forum is at the bottom of the page!

I will be counting tonight the perseid shower at Grayton Beach. The 11 and 12 of August. I will come back to post my results here. Let me know what hours I should begin if my results should be entered into any survey of this shower.
It is cloudy this morning, and I am hoping that they will go away for clear viewing tonight. I am in the Panhandle of Florida.
It is great to find your site.

Hi JLC!

Sadly after rain-outs the past two years, I'm not hosting an h2g2 count this year. Good luck with it though!

Clear skies!
