I won't have any light polution here so it should be a good show if it isn't overcast. Looking forward to the early a.m. hours!

[Liz]

I always get a stiff neck looking for those things!

[sharon]

Yeah, me too, Liz. And then just as soon as I put my head down to stretch my neck is when they decide to come streaking across the sky!

[snowball]

to many lights in our neck of the woods now if we were down in Quartzsite AZ would be able to see them
those that can enjoy them ok

I got up early,... 4 a.m. to check them out. Darn,... sky was overcast so even though i'm out in the country with no light polution I didn't get to see any. Back to bed!

[Nasoosie]

As Cedar has mentioned, way too cloudy and foggy up here in the mountains to see anything last night or early this morning! I even checked at about 2:00!

[Echo]

Well I was out in the driveway before 5am my time and saw????

I either saw ONE meteor or one shooting star. I had clear skies and only two lights to contend with.

I did see about a kazillion stars tho. A clump of them looked like a cat? With face and ears too. And what looked like a miniature Dipper. Have never noticed either of them before so waking up at 4:45am and going outside wasn't a complete waste of time!

too bad the clouds didn't cooperate!!! Echo aren't the stars so pretty are you still at the rim??? what are your plans for the winter occasionally in Quartzsite you can find rv's to rent for the season and work can be found
