No. Every year, for the past several years I've tried to view the Persiedes meteor showers. Every year, I see a couple falling stars, and that is all. I viewed in an area which was pitch black.

@SW-User The moon kind of hampered the shower last night also.There was supposed to be 150 an hour last night but I saw half that amount.

@irishwonder1973 That's still quite a lot! Wonderful!

@SW-User Hard to believe most of them are the size of an apple seed.They come in so fast they leave a huge trail.

@irishwonder1973 There was the Leonid shower of 1866 when there was about 1000 per hour.
