Perseid meteor shower 2010

The perseid meteor shower had ideal conditions this year: clear skys, almost no moon, and bearable temperatures. Unfortunately, we saw only a small number of meteors, but the overall viewing conditions make the experience nonetheless very pleasant.

I've been on holiday, but planned to do some work while away. My laptop broken irreparably on the second day, however. While it has been somewhat inconvenient, it has made for a superlative vacation in terms of stress relief and relaxation. All the better to stay up watching the stars.
