I remember having to insert a plug into my magazine in order to limit the magazine capacity to 3 shots.

Is that something peculiar to Wisconsin or is this nationwide?

I have found several bunches of grapes with grapes of both colours on the same bunch.

Just wondered if this was common ?

To all the disappointed watchers:

So you stepped out onto the back porch last night and did not see much at all?

Try again, the showers will go on for a couple more nights.

But let's get real.

The best time to view the showers is around 3-4 AM. this is when perseus is high in the sky. The reason you can't see them earlier is because when close to the horizon, the show gets lost in the atmospheric haze and all the light pollution from surrounding cities.

Also, dark adaptation of your eyes takes over half an hour, until then you are not going to see anything, no matter how dark it is outside.

So, if you looked outside for 15 minutes and gave up. no wonder you didn't see anything.

The predicted count at maximum actvity is 60 per hour. But you are not always facing in the right direction to see all of them.

Like anything else, but even more so in Astronomy, it helps to do your homework, so you know what to expect.
