Some years are better than others.

I missed this one, getting light here. Will go for the next.

To really have a good sky, I have to drive about 10 minutes out of town. I caught a real meteor shower a few years ago after driving to the country, and I will never forget that one. It was in August with no moon. The tv news the next am reported it fizzled and did not meet expectations (when viewed within the city, lol). For me, it was the meteor shower of my lifetime. I saw at least a 100; fireballs, splitting meteors etc. Spent an hour observing, and this one event made all the no shows worthwhile.
