It's amazing how much the stars rotate in the sky at night.

Here's how you can take really cool pictures of meteor showers or just the stars in the night sky.http://davewirth.blogspot.com/2011/11/star-pictures.html
If you have a basic Canon Camera you can use this software, it's totally free and easy to use: http://davewirth.blogspot.com/2011/09/chdk.html

i live in melbourne, florida i went outside about 10:30 pm and stayed outside until midnight. by then cloud cover prevented me from even seeing the stars. i will try again tonight

I am hoping it clears up I live close to u :D i did the same thing last night crossing my fingers tonight
I am in Auburn, Ca. cloudless skies, no city lights except far away Sacramento and went out at about 10 stayed til 2. Probably saw about 200, all colors, sizes, train lengths. Spectacular.
I have a much harder time in Chicago because of the light pollution. I suspect the same of LA unless you travel a bit to a darker area.












Are these possible in heavily polluted cities, say LA?
