Time to get the deck chairs out…. Spotted one Perseid a couple of nights ago… I wonder if I'll see any this weekend at the maximum? Can someone please dim down the Moon for that evening….

The Perseid meteor shower is closing in on its annual peak, which is due to occur during the night of August 12-13.
There are some very wild claims being circulated online about very high Perseid rates, but what can you reasonably expect in 2017?
