The best time to view is after midnight apparently! Thanks Cazi. Even though I was told this only this afternoon I had already forgotten!!

The best way is to take a rug out with you and lie down - no cricked neck!

A lot of street lighting beside us, so may not see anything.

We don't have that many but the way we have to look possibly be brighter.

The big question is can I stay up that late.   ::)

I'm hoping to stay up & watch it. We don't have a lot of street lighting out the back & we do normally get to see the shooting stars.

They reckon there will be about 60 per hour..... mmmm that's one a minute, & I bet it will be when I decide to blink.

So Taz will you be out in the garden on your back later  :D :D

I'm thinking more of going out into the deep, dark countryside to get a good view - or maybe the pub garden - it's nice and dark out there after hours  :lol:

The pub garden Taz definitely - it's safer.

Here's a map of best places to watch the night sky - I don't think my pub garden is on there though http://www.darkskydiscovery.org.uk/dark-sky-discovery-sites/map.html

We will just have to "sniff" a pub out then Taz - I'm sure there will be one nearby.
