Either the tail end of the Perseids, a preview of the Kappa Cygnids, or part of the North Iota Aquarids. If you have a clear sky, well worth a look.

Lovely night sky here from West Melton under this great anticyclone. Haven't seen any meteors yet and yes, I have been looking

I was out watching from around 8:30 PM - 10 PM but that's no guarantee of course.

You would be out on 27th with the lunar eclipse. NZ being in a prime location to view it from what I can gather.

My crystal ball is already clouding over in sympathy.

(Not that I'm a pessimist or anything.)

The numbers are lower tonight but still some beauties. You may get some nice pics Stephen. How have you got on so far?
