Interesting! We went-out the last time there were meteor showers (was
it January???), and saw a few but didn't get any pictures. Maybe we
should try again!
Uhhh.... is there a way to find-out when the moon sets in one's locale?
I checked our local paper, and didn't see anything. Is there a web site
somewhere with this info?
Thanks!
