Pray that we don’t get a ‘big one’.
We have to do our viewing when it is clear. Last night was clear and there was a meteor out of Gemini. Also, comet Holmes is still visible and Mars is moving retrograde right next to a bright star and you can see the difference in position from day to day.
Tag for reference. Hoping for clear skies. Tonight’s star party went no-go cause we can’t see jack.
I love watching the Perseids, and will catch this one....we’re in the dark desert and I’m always up a couple of hours before daylight anyhow.
I will be able to view without being outside in the colld........the door to my upstairs deck faces due west :)
WooHoo! Our daughter flies home from college that evening, and she and I will attend a concert in Cambridge. We’ll be getting home just in time for this to start. We’ll just have to bundle up and sit outside and chat all night while we’re watching the sky! Might be a good reason to go ahead and get a chiminea!
