New moon should make them appear brighter. I hope your skies are clear. Kinda cloudy in Louisville right now but I'm going to keep checking.

They really need to schedule that for a different time of year. We keep missing it due to weather.

I'd say optimal viewing over Central Montana last night! Sat outside and enjoyed them off and on until 0100. There were some dandies!

Generally we have forest fire smoke this time of the year, last year it was especially smoky. Clear and perfect viewing last night.

I went out at midnight central and watched for an hour. I saw many small faint ones and 22 real good bright ones.

Had a great time watching for an hour and a half with my 9 year old son last night.

He absolutely loved it and hopefully will carry that memory the rest of his life. Wanted to do it again tonight, but we have wall to wall cloud cover. Hopefully in advanced of some much needed rain here in NW Missouri.
