Was reading photography tips from GoldenHammers site tonite
and was wondering if any MacNNer's are going to try to get
pics of the Perseid meteor showers.

http://spaceweather.com/meteors/gallery_12aug05.html

Or, if any part of the World is better for seeing events like this?

I may give the camera a try - if the mosquitos aren't too thick
tonite.

How do you pronounce Perseid? Per-seed? Per-sed? Pair-sa-eed? I have no idea.

Perseids: purr-see-ids.
Perseides: purr-see-a-dees.

I'd love to watch and photograph them, but the weather is humid and hazy here (as it usually is during August). Tends to screw up the visibility.
