Tonight I’ll be staying up til the wee hours of the morning in hopes of catching part of the meteor shower. It’s been over a year since I’ve live anywhere conducive to seeing anything but the moon in the night sky and I’m looking forward to it.
I used to spend hours outside staring up at the night sky and just watching. And since I have such great viewing conditions in my little village here, I might just have to start thinking about investing in a decent little telescope again.
The Orioninds aren’t a bad show. Usually 20-25 an hour, mostly quickly little ones. Best view is the 17th-25th from 0100 to 0600 hrs. It’s worth staying up late (or getting up really early).

For the curious, I did see a few before deciding I should call it a night. I have a feeling I’ll be out on the hill behind my house every night this week watching.

I’m going to have to see if I can catch any this weekend.
Damn classes, making me get sleep…
