Thanks for the reminder Amy

Now that we live in the boonies viewing should be great, if, it's not overcast like last year.

Checked things out at 2:30 am and saw a couple of meteors, but the moon was ultra bright and there were scattered clouds. Maybe tonight?

Don't think so. I think best viewing times are around 2-5 am and the moon will pretty much be peaking at that time.

Thanks for the tip, Amy. I watched the sky around 11p - 12:30a and saw 13 meteors that were quite bright and long. I'm sorry to report I took no shots - just wanted to watch it.
