Look up! Stunning Draconid meteor shower will light up the skies this weekend: Here's how to see it
The Draconid shower can usually be caught between sunset and midnight
Those in Northern America, Europe and Asia are the best situated to see it
Draconids move slowly so are usually much fainter than the Orionids
In 2012 sky watchers saw 1,000 meteors per hour but this year will be quieter http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ ... ekend.html
Nothing to do with metal detrctinhg, but I thought some of you may be interested?

Re: Stunning Draconid meteor shower
Did anyone see any meteors last night? I went out a few times but we had cloud and a haze... will try again tonight.
