Hmmm, too much light pollution near my house so couldn't see anything. The shooting stars should be coming out of the Persius constellation so look at the area between the Ursa Minor (the big dipper) and Orions Belt as they're pretty easy to spot. The best night for them is meant to be tonight, but it looks as if it might be cloudy everywhere except for the east of England, northern Ireland and part of Scotland, which is crap. I'll try again though a bit farther afield tonight.

I bloody fell asleep, but I'm gonna give it another go tonight(not falling asleep) cos BBC said you can still see them tonight, from this eve til the early hours. I just need to figure out which way is north east...

It peaks tonight though...while it started yesterday, the peak is tonight so it should be even better :)

 

Didn't see any last night (was before midnight though), but I did see a few satellites go over

I ended up seeing 9 bright ones yesterday, and will definitely try again tonight if the weather permits. =)

 

Also, I did see them in about every direction so don't just focus on one spot in the sky. Just lay back in a place where you get a clear view of the sky. For people trying to figure out where the North-east is, if you know where the sun sets and rises, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. =P

I went back to it at 4 am and saw another two really bright ones, one of them kinda scared me even, it must have been a pretty big chunk because I saw it burning rather than just a trail of light, it reminded me of what this things actually are.

 

Overal 8/10, will watch again.

My mom saw one yesterday.

 

I once stayed awake all night looking at the windows because they announced a meteor shower when I was younger. I didn't see a single one. Won't be waiting again.

Guess no shooting stars for me tonight as it's been cloudy all day and been raining all evening/night. =(

 

Hope some of you are having more luck tonight!

I didn't see any again last night, cloudy as hell. Thought I saw something but then realised as the street lights were also within my vision it just burnt the light into my eye and tricked me.

I think I managed to see two more while sticking my head out of my window at 3 am, when the rain had stopped and some of the clouds had parted. If only the weather had been better, it could've been so beautiful.

Me and my mates went to the beach in the early hours of this morning and looked over the sea, we seen about 15 all together.

 

It was a good night.

Didn't see any on either night. Cloudy on Tuesday night so no chance of seeing any and last night, the sun was still peaking it's head out when I was looking so I didn't get anything. Shame really, but then I've seen meteor showers before. Saw some in Portugal a few years back while lying in a hammock. Thought it was my mind playing tricks on me but no, 'twas real. Very pretty.
