Yep, you are spot-on Leon!!!!
It was so good that Cheryl even joined me outside to learn a bit about the sky!!!
It was about 1am, absolutely clear as glass, dead calm, meteor shower, Mars shining extremely bright (same magnitude as Sirius), etc etc. Even saw a very nice fireball! About the same brightness and colour as Mars and shot about half way across the sky
It was so beautiful I didn't even bother setting up. It is one of those rare occasions where I did naked eye astronomy!
Cheryl seemed to enjoy learning little bits of information about Pliaedes, Orion costellation, and meteors.
It shows how great the sky was. Normally she isn't all that interested unless it's something like comet McNaught, but she was fascinated by the sky last night!
It was so clear it felt like you could reach out and touch the stars! and it was nice for a change to: 1. observe naked eye, 2. Share it with her.
