Hello Everyone Finally after all this rain, I was able to observe for only a few minutes Sunday night, from 11:00 pm to 11:15 pm, and saw a meteor starting from Draco's head and went west ward across the Milkyway, and as bright as Draco's stars. The trail was 6 1/2 inches long (not sure how to measure except with a string), white in color, and lasted just over 1 second. The sky was hazy from clouds but you could still see the stars but was like looking through a dirty windshield; and decided to end observing due to neighbors lights being too distracting. I hope this can be useful to you and will catch you all looking up soon. :o) Marcia
