I finally had good seeing on Saturday night under a Texas sky. We had meteors hitting at 100 per hour all weekend long. Some of them were real burners. Comet Machholz was naked eye, and we saw the NOSS satellites which is an eerie sight to behold for sure. This will be a weekend I will remember for a long time!
