Beautiful and clear here too. I've just spent the last hour (12 - 1am approx.) watching a fantastic display. Loads of fireworks, many with 3 - 4 second trails left behind. Haven't done any counting or anything, just enjoying the view.
Clouding over a little now but it looks fairly thin as I can still see a few of the brightest stars as fuzzies though them. Hoping it will clear a bit again then I'm heading back out.

I might be a wee bit strange, but I also enjoyed watching the lightning earlier this evening too! :D

Perhap because light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

cloudy here but with substantial gaps. Spent probably 40-50 mins in total looking at the sky and I saw maybe on or two faint perseids, but 4-5 sporadics.... I have a lM of about 5
