Get our your cameras tonight!!! Meteor Shower!
"The meteor shower is expected to be easier to see with Thursday night's new moon."

Flippin Sweet! Any idea what time?

If I remember correctly, around or soon after midnight is the best time because that's when our side of the earth will be facing "forward" as we travel around the sun.

What shower is this? I'm heading out to the country in a few minutes if the cloud situation clears up.

Anyone see anything last night. I was out for about 1.5 hours and saw nada. Got some nice night shots of drilling rigs on the way home and my first digital star trail shot - a short one.

I didnt see anything last night either but if it was around midnight I was out COLD on the couch! heheh I was Exhausted! NICE shot Rusty! You did a GREAT job! Im jelouse! where did you go to get that shot? I am trying to find a good place to get away from city lights to get some star trails but I dont want to have to drive forever to get there! hehe We are going tubing next weekend on the guadilupie river (sp?) So I will catch some next weekend while we are camping hopefully!

Cynthia, thanks. I shot this on the west side of Lake Benbrook. I picked up lots of light pollution since I was south of Fort Worth. I would think Isle Dubois Park on Ray Roberts would be a great place to shoot star trails. It won't be as good as west Texas but a great place to get it down before making the drive out the the Davis Mountains or Big Bend for the real thing.
