Shoulda done that, sigh. And I was such an astronomy buff too when younger! All my housemates went out to the desert for precisely that, and to dance all night of course.

Saw three then the clouds descended. Completely knackered myself out as a result. Damn you the sky!

Went out to my usual spot on the San Andreas Fault where it crosses Cajon Pass and saw about 80 meteors in 40 minutes. The full moon drowned out the fainter ones, but it was a pretty good show

which desert do you live near, mark? and why didn't you go?
