The Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight (http://www.earthsky.org/article/the-2009-peak-of-the-perseid-meteor-shower). Last night was pretty good too. Anyone into meteor spotting?

Tonight I'll get my camera and tripod out. If I get any good pix, I'll post them here. Has anyone got some good meteor photos (from last night/whenever)? Has anyone got tips on taking photos of meteor showers?

It's cloudy here in London too and anyway with the light pollution visibility is never too good anyway. Is it expected to be a good shower this year?

That's what the dude on tv was saying. Unfortunately, last night was cloudy. But I live in hope of clear skies tonight.
