Streak of light crossing the Orion...
Unfortunately, the apperance of clouds had terminated my observation a bit early, but I was able to see 7 meteors during the 20 minutes I had stargazed. Today was supposed to be the maximum of the Gemini Meteor Shower. Not bad, since we were expecting to see around 20-30 per hour.
Stars were so beautiful...twinkling. I was even able to see the Milky Way couple of weeks ago. That's how clear the sky is here, I guess. Rural, but beautiful.
Sirius, Rigel, Betelgeuse, Pleiades, Saturn, Procyon...these are some of the stars I was able to identify. Just...beautiful.
