perseidwatcher	08/06/2012 11:28AM Just find an open area and look up. The best time to watch the Perseids is usually after midnight on the 10th - 13th. This year, you may have better viewing before midnight due to the moon. The moon will be coming up later and getting smaller each night. We will be arriving in Ely early on Saturday morning, so we will be just in time for the peak night. I hope it is clear.
schweady	08/03/2012 04:15PM I was doing crosswords by the light of the almost-full moon on Fourtown late last Tuesday night. Never experienced a moon so bright. Like sitting under a streetlamp.
tnthekids	08/03/2012 03:11PM quote perseidwatcher: "I have been to the BW for the Perseids every year since 1994. I highly recommend the experience." Our crew will be on the water when Perseids makes its appearance next weekend. Any suggestions on best viewing? We are going out of Kawishiwi heading toward Snowbank. Thanks!
Hawbakers	08/02/2012 01:03PM Overcast last night in the TC, but clear tonight!

tremolo	07/31/2012 10:25PM quote Soledad: "We will be going in on the 10th, I just explained to my 4 and 6 yr old boys that they will get see some shooting stars on our canoe trip. Isaac wants to catch some. :)" Catch a shooting star and put it in your pocket!

aland147	07/31/2012 08:14PM I will be enjoying its view from the beaches of Lake Alice, cocktail in hand of course!

nctry	07/31/2012 06:39PM Aug 11th my son gets married near the cities. Might get to see the showers. But I'll definitly be in for the blue moon at the end of the month... and the one in September. My calander says the next full moon is August 2nd.
bellolake	07/31/2012 05:43PM I'll be at the Trout Forest Music Festival in Ear Falls, Ontario August 10-12. It would be great to be able to see a meteor shower along with all that music.
Papinator	07/31/2012 04:45PM quote Savage Voyageur: "In August there will be a second full moon. A Blue Moon will be on the 31st. " Oh shoot! I will have just missed that one by a few days :( I love a full moon, so cool what you can see in the darkness with no flashlights!
alpine525	07/31/2012 04:44PM quote Savage Voyageur: "In August there will be a second full moon. A Blue Moon will be on the 31st. " We will be there on the 31st - looking forward to seeing the Blue Moon!
gutmon	07/31/2012 04:39PM Nothing I like better than watching the Perseids while floating on my back in a lake.
fitgers1	07/31/2012 03:37PM quote arctic: "Right on. As the nights lengthen, August provides some of the best opportunities to enjoy the night sky--especially far from city lights, as in the canoe country. Don't forget the Perseid Meteor Shower on the night of the 11th-12th." Already marked in my notebook. We'll be on Lynx or Shell that night. Looking forward to it and hoping for clear skies. Edit; I'll be there for the meteor shower, not the full moon.
Savage Voyageur	07/31/2012 01:33PM In August there will be a second full moon. A Blue Moon will be on the 31st.
hobbydog	07/31/2012 11:29AM Pics of the full moon from my ice out solo trip in early April. I also like the moonless sky on a crisp night away from the city lights.

tremolo	07/31/2012 08:24AM For now at least, the brightest light in the sky August 1 will be the full moon if the night is clear. August 1 is also the day my second son was born. He turns 18 tomorrow. Last year, I was camping in the bwca on Crab Lake during the full moon. It was my first solo. So many changes in just one year. Enjoy the waning days of summer, and the lovely view of the sky at night. Molo
