Most of the Northern Hemisphere should be able to see them. I think pre-dawn is supposed to be the best time to see them, somethign to do with the angle of Earth at that time. Luckily, I leave for work at that time so am keeping fingers crossed that it's a clear night. :)

just look UP dahlink ;)

Hopefully the mist will clear, but for the last couple of years its been like this. Best out around midnight if you cant stay up for the pre-dawn show...it's usually excellent :D

I think the North East is where the action is, we are going to climb the highest mountain in Caithness for better vantage point.:Razz

Good luck getting to the summit of Morven at this time of the evening. Its 706m, so its going to take a bit of time :eek:

Will have a look out down here in sunny Lancaster, I wonder if it will be anywhere near as impressive as the thunder and lightening shower we had earlier today lol.

Typical, it started raining here about 2hrs ago and though it's stopped for now, it doesn't look like the cloud is going to clear. :( Hopefully better in the morning.
