I'd keep my distance for sure.

I'm already seeing a very thin layer of clouds. Hopefully it's low and blocks out light, and we can be above it.
While there were a bunch of people parked on the sides, they were laying on their cars. I'll be on one of the trails with some shrubbery blocking the light from any passing cars. Worked just fine last time.

Jansen is most likely already on his way to Gagan's. Your best bet is to PM Gagan with your number.

Sorry, I didn't get your PM in time. Light was not a problem up on Hammy, but a lackage of meteors was

Depending on my energy level tomorrow, if its not cloudy I may go back out.

For those of you light missed it, there is a better one December 13/14, which is supposed to be better anyways. It is on a Sunday night, so I may even drive to clearer weather if the bay area is cloudy.

Jansen and I had great views of the skys, but only saw 4 shooting stars at best. What a let down. We get lots of shots of the night sky though. Freaking crazy amount of stars.

Saw 6-8ish shooting stars on the side of Skyline. I thought there would be way more shooting stars too Got there at about 1:30 AM and left shortly before 3. I may go out again tomorrow night as well and try a diff spot.
It was cold but soooo pretty and fun!
