Don't know how viewable they'll be for our neck of the woods.. It was a couple of years back, I caught one of these things around 2am and out where I live, no street lights etc.. the sky was just absolutely FULL of shooting starts.. an incredible sight. |

Thanks for the post Bob. I will keep an eye out tomorrow night.. Two eyes actually.... I hope the sky is clear. The SBLive weather portal says "mostly sunny" which sounds good.

Early morning best a good time
I was in a deer stand yesterday morning about a hour before sun break and
could see them great. I too was way out in the country and looking up at the heavens is one reason I go so early to take it all in. LSU will have a star party once a month so check it out at Worley Observatory south off Ellerby Road. Great stuff. The best is still just standing out looking up. I will be there early in the morning. Isaac |

Leonid meteor shower
Yesterday morning 12/14 it was going strong. One about every five minutes and with the stars in the back ground and the moon at less than a quarter I could see everything so clear. There times I stop and just look up and being out in the country you can see so much.
