I was up 0245 to 0400 on the 12th and I didn't see squat. There was a moon and there was probably 10% cloud cover, though clouds were not really in the way round these parts.

 

I probably had 30 minutes of total sky watching and got nothing. For my convenience, view was restricted by canopy (trees) during most of that time but not from the south or east. I spent about 5 minutes total on Gen 3 AN/PVS-5s and only saw 2 meteors with them. Normally I would see more than 2 meteors a second with night vision. Heck, I could probably see 2 meteors over five minutes tonight with NV and there is no climaxing meteor shower tonight.

 

Boo!!!

I, like you, was up at 2:45 (couldn't sleep) but didn't go out till 4:00 when the moon set. Facing north I managed to see two dim meteors within a minute of each other. The next came almost 15 minutes later from directly overhead that continued about a quarter of the way toward the NE horizon. Pretty uneventful after that. It was nowhere near as spectacular as the storm we had several years back.

I was in the parking lot of the local diner with some friends and saw one or two after like 15 minutes of staring at the sky. For maximum viewing pleasure you need to be in as close to zero light as possible to see the sky and just wait.

 

I was fortunate enough to be in Maryland a few years ago for the Perseid's and it was PERFECT. We were in the middle of no where and I was able to see a large amount of the stars. It was, arguably, the most amazing thing I've seen.

Oh, I'm in the middle of nowhere. Unless you count The Moon!
