    Every once in a while, I really wish I lived out in the sticks.

    I looked up tonight and all I saw was the same 12 or 13 stars I always see.

    from what I've read the best viewing times are going to be after midnight Saturday (early Sunday), and Sunday (early Monday). Hope it's clear for all you stargazers :ugeek:

    I saw a few tonight, one really good one that shot across the sky for a few seconds.

    A good reason to stay up late tonight... not that I have a hard time doing that any way. :D

    Oddly enough I live out almost in the middle of nowhere and barely see any stars here.

    Maybe worth a quick trip up San Bruno Mtn.

    anyone see any last night. I first went out at like 1AM but it was too cloudy and the only thing I was able to see was lightning in the distance. Went to bed and woke up a few hours later. Went back outside and it was much clearer and I saw a few of them. :)
