Yep, I’m up at Acadia National Park. Some clouds rolling in but a pretty good view

I’m gonna go take a peak in the yard but we have some local light pollution - I don’t expect to see much.

Well hell, just saw two in about five minutes

That’s probably an amazing spot to see it if the clouds cooperate

It was for a bit but some low level clouds eventually blocked the view. Got a decent hour in though

Up in the mountains in North Carolina. Wasn't the best viewing and then right before we called it a night, a huge single streak that took up a quarter of the sky. It was amazing.

I went out two different times, for about 30 minutes each. I saw seven altogether, two of them were really bright.

We had pretty clear skies and I'm away from typical city lighting, but there is a container port not far away and that orange glow is a problem for true night sky viewing. I could drive over to the beach, 15 minutes away, but I wasn't going to do that at midnight on a Sunday night.

Saw a few last night driving from LA to Phoenix...
