Two Meteor Showers At Once

[Hypognosis]

Got my ISS flyby times/dates muddled up again but was rewarded by at least 6 meteors in as many minutes. Some in opposing directions, meaning either sporadics or more than one active radiant. The paths of 4 of them traced back to the square of Pegasus and one might have been an early Perseid.

I googled and found this which goes into more details of how long the two currently active showers last and how many per hour to expect.

Thanks belrec.

Saw another possible Perseid at 04:11 in the same bit of sky as the ISS (not an -actual- near-miss, just a rare sight and amazing timing). The meteor was very bright, considering the sky was brightening and all the faint stars had gone.

Clear skies to you!

29th is the peak for one of the two so I'm just bumping this for the benefit of all the night-owls.
