Hi there,

I am a rookie to this list and wanted to share my
perseid viewing. (so pardon my naive report)

I am from a small college town in tx and a friend and
i headed out into the country, to my usual star-gazing
place. absolutely flat and no trees for miles.... and
right in the middle of no-where. perfect view from
horizon to horizon.... :) have a good view of the
perseid showers. the moon didnt not rise until 4 am
and it was perfect crystal clear skies and almost no
interference from the city lights. saw some really
bright ones but i wasnt as impressed as my first
experience 2 years ago. But this time i couldnt help
but notice some meteors zipping past fast. Really
fast!

I might head out later today and hope to see a few
more. 

Ps: a note to Barbara Wilson.George Observatory
Ft Bend County Texas. Where is it located ?
