New meteor shower on Monday at 10 pm PDT? Get out there

Thanks for the good wishes, memtb, but we are stuck in Southern California this week -- perfectly clear skies, but the worst light pollution in the country (and maybe the world). On a good night, we can see the Big Dipper or Orion (in the winter).

But it is never dark enough to see meteors. And we have to drive several hours to get to a place where the Milky Way is visible.

That's why we usually boondock, if at all possible -- to make up for all of those nights without stars.
