[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 938279, member: 369937"] We were out last night on the cement beach (front driveway, it has a good view of the constellation Perseus) to see if anything would be coming by early, got some good long duration big ones, total count was around 25 to 35 in the 4 hour's we were outside viewing, (counts always vary after a few drinks) hope the next few days are even better. Got a good satellite count of around 85, and for those in the right location (check with the NASA site) you may get a good view of the space station as it comes over your location. To avoid neck problems in the weeks to follow a reclining chase lounge or reclining chair used for the beach would be the best way to view them, we have a few old recliners and wheel them out to keep from busting our necks. I have red lights setup in the garage to have access to the bar and snacks, and inside to the guest bathroom this keeps the light pollution down and you don't have to stumble around in the dark waiting for your eyes to adjust. This is a yearly thing at my place, as I don't have city lights to contend with, (nearest town is 35 miles away) usually several friends stop by and we have a good time watching out for those quick ones, and try to run up a good personal count. also without a Moon at this time of night to affect the viewing it looks to be a good year. Happy viewing, watch those necks, and be safe in the dark. [/QUOTE]
