Hi Eric, some rain would be pretty handy wouldnt it! hope its not just clouds tho. Still looking bad (astronomy wise) for us still to.

and yes days/nights either side of a peak are often pretty decent, I guess on average sometimes, depends tho, I would expect, as much as, even half the rates observable on the peak night could be possible

Now we have a X3 solar flare gunning our way (launched at 0240 UT on Dec. 13th - so around lunch time today - wednesday) and they take between 12 and 48 hours to arrive, we could of had some nice auroae in the south to compliment some nice meteors tonight/tomorrow night- oh well cant win 'em all

knit one purl one, knit one purl, knit one purl one, knit one purl one...
