I just got in from viewing them with my 11 year old son (it's about 3:30 am PST here). We went out of town a short way, and threw down some patio chair cushions and a down sleeping bag in a farm field and just stared straight up. It was -6 C. We easily saw between 50 and 100 meteors, and some were quite bright. No "storm" though. They seemed to come in small groups. The viewing started out with a thin haze that obscured most of the stars, and probably most of the faint meteors, but it got much better as time passed. I had my camera set up with a 28 mm lens at f2.8 and ISO 200 film. I got up every 5-8 minutes to start a new exposure. I'm sure I caught a few bright ones on film, but I don't have my hopes high for quality due to the haze.

When the haze cleared enough that we could actually see the sickle in Leo, we saw a few meteors come right out of there. One short one went straight down. That was very odd to see compared to the appearance of most of them.

Anyway, that was worth staying up for. How'd the rest of you folks do?
