2011 Quadrantids

[used44]

The first meteor shower of the year is tonight, the Quadrantids meteor shower. Those of you who live in the NW hemisphere should get quite a show. New moon tonight too so the rural sky should be extra dark. I'm just hoping this cloud cover dissipates by tonight.
Here's a handy viewing location/times guide: http://www.spacedex.com/quadrantids

Spacedex sounds like an intergalactic dinosaur.

I will take a look but considering I'm on the Eastern part of town I might not see it.

Hmmm, 11pm til 4am for UK. I just looked out the window (midnight now) and its cloudy as fuck

Someone takes some pictures for me.

We'll see...if I get out and it's clear enough, I might attempt some pics.

Gah, it's still cloudy as hell. But it's up to 40°F so I'll take it!

So nobody saw anything?

Ah well, there's always the next one in 2092.

Yeah it'll have to be then. I'll blast my super plasma cannon to clear the clouds for you guys.
