Hi All,
Well it figures, just when your ready to go out and view these events the clouds came in over Dayton, Ohio…nothing but rain and clouds on the morning of the 22nd. So I missed the Venus – Moon Conjunction/Occultation and the Meteor Shower peak.
I know that sometimes meteor showers do continue for several nights, but with much lower rates . So I turned on my video sky camera for the next night when it cleared.
I did manage to capture some Lyrid meteors the following morning of the 23rd of April 2009. Here are six of them captured on my video sky camera from my backyard in Dayton, Ohio. This is a 6 hour time lapse shot.
