| 2. Thanks for the reminder. I'll bundle up and get out there at midnight. |
|
At least that is when I heard they are the best.
Do you think it was one of those meteorites that landed in China?

| 4. You mean there are things in the sky that aren't gray, puffy and snowy? |
|
Some day I will live where there is a sky. Oh, well.

But this is once in a lifetime and I know the perfect vantagepoint...
Dunno. I might have to miss it. :-(

| 8. How do you find Gemini in the sky? |
|
I can find Orion and the Seven Sisters, but that's about it.

and go up and north a bit from Orion.
This year, Saturn rises directly below the radiant, so if you can find Saturn, you'll probably find the showers.
We're getting unusual overcast, clouds and fog conditions. :( It's been crystal clear at night for the past two weeks, but last night and tonight, the sky-watcher's spirits are laughing at us.
