Thanks for posting. Always cool to watch the night sky in action. I wish one would land in my yard, and fill my pockets with money.........lol. On a side note, I wonder what ever happened to that tv show, "Meteorite Hunters". Pretty interesting show.......

I saw a fantastic one last night about 11pm. It was the second best one I recall seeing, no where near like the one about 10yrs ago that lit the province up, but pretty good just the same.

Sundre Library is having an astronomy night, Friday Dec. 19 at 7:00, behind the high school. Might get lucky.

Meteor showers are so exciting to watch.
It would be nice if the sky cleared up a bit

Bought a good sized telescope beginning of last summer so I could do some star gazing. Prefer binoculars so guess I will sell the teley now. Hate that every thing is up side down. Neat to see far away goats up close though.
