Meteor showers usually always disappoint me. I live near an urban area, so the sky is somewhat obscured by light pollution, but you’d think some big, bright ones would still get through. I wait forever just to see one or two meteors.
Get out of town!
It is well worth the effort. Mrs BN & I drove up to the Blue Ridge Parkway several years ago to see a meteor shower. Took the folding chaise lounges & sleeping bags. After a while seeing many meteors we started counting. By the time we called it a night we had seen 1500+. White, green, orange!
Wonderful night!
