i just came back from standing outside for 30 min. straining my neck to catch a glimpse of this shower. unfortunately, there was too much light pollution. i wanted to so badly drive out to the beach or a place outside of the city, but it would be nice and safe if i had company.
one of these days i'm just going to dedicate a couple of nights just star gazing.
so, anyone else interested in star gazing? share your stories.

My co-worker loves to star gaze. He was all excited about his new telescope watching the moon the other night. He just said, "He's got a big ass... telescope." Maybe you and he can share the passion someday.
I pretty much gave up on telescoping since I can't find anything beside the moon hehehe... *dorky retarded*
silly...it's all about being patient and adjusting your eyes to the darkness. it's not hard at all.

you know that face i made was a tongue sticking out right? not smiling...
silly mike. = P
you're one of the most intelligent guy i know and you are capable of doing anything as long as you are interested in it. if star gazing isn't your thing, you'll never want to learn it.
i always thought star gazing was romantic...

I must be dumb, too, because I never could see a thing.

I know, I am not usually that ditzy but I honestly could see nothing spectacular the last time I went star gazing. It was very romantci and I did appreciate the thought as we had a wonderful time just cuddling under the moonlight but I saw no stars.
We had gone to the Griffith Observatory and I made my boyfriend sit and listen to the short lecture that they provide for beginning astronomers. I thought it was pretty fun. We walked around outside afterwards and peered into their giant telescope. Pretty interesting, I love being outdoors on balmy nights but no stars were visible.
I'd love to go back there again sometime but I have not had much time and I heard that they were closed for construction. I will have to make a trip there this summer.
Yeah, I suppose taking off the lens cap would help you along a bit...
