More "light pollution" predicted for those meteor
observers in the higher latitudes:

Space Weather News for August 23, 2005
http://spaceweather.com

Big sunspot 798 exploded twice yesterday, August 22nd,
and hurled a pair of coronal mass ejections apparently
toward Earth. Geomagnetic storms are 
possible when the clouds arrive. Sky watchers should
be alert for auroras during the nights of August 23rd
and 24th.  High latitudes are favored: 
e.g., Canada, Alaska and northern-tier US states from
Washington to Maine.

Hello Eric,

Thanks very much for your note, and I'll e-mail you
the survey right away!

If anyone else wants either the meteor or aurora
survey, there's plenty of time to do either, and the
meteor survey is not dependent on skill nor on 
the Perseids (it can be for any stray meteors or
meteor showers).  You can e-mail me at lisa at lymax.com,
and I'll send them to you directly.

Best,
Lisa

I am looking for people who will be

upcoming showers or random meteors) this year and/or
people who plan to observe any aurorae in the next
couple of months.
