EDIT:

not the best of viewing situations, hm? Apparently it's normal for it to coincide with a full moon?

No AJ, it is not always coinciding with a full moon.

Just a moment…

Next year, it is predicted that the crescent moon will be waning as the night goes on that time.

While I have seen the Perseids in the past while being in Wasaga Beach at this time, my chances of seeing anything tonight are minimal, due to a full moon, deep city glow, and the chance of lingering clouds tonight. Maybe someone here will have the chance to shoot one of these on a camera, that would be awesome.

I'll be sure to set up my hammock and pull an all nighter for this one.

I saw a meteor rocket its way along Roosevelt Island (along the eastern river of Manhattan) last night sometime after midnight -- some friends and I were out on the back balcony having drinks and suddenly this bright mofo goes screaming by -- totally surprised us all
