Actually what I meant was not to look straight toward the radiant. But yeah, looking straight up will crick your neck in no time and that's no fun.
Lying down on the ground makes it easier to watch the sky (though staying warm might be a problem).

You're gonna ruin a good umbrella. Why not use a gravel guard off your truck? (get it? huh? huh?)
To: Sub-Driver
Thanks for the heads up. I live south of Philly and leave for work about 5:30. Looking forward to the show if these cursed clouds will go away

I am sorry I dont have the equipment here to do that. I pray you are not clouded out. :-(

One thing that they should have mentioned is that this is these are the last Leonids worth watching for, for the next 98 years. I'll be watching in the Kansas countryside.

"For the main small meteors, yes, it will be harder to see them with light pollution AND a full moon."
The moon will be quite far down to the west by that time, so try to find a place with a hill or some kind of obstruction like that to the west. That will help block any moonlight. I have my place staked out already. It has some nice thick woods directly to the west just a few feet.

Is that near Canis Major, Canis Minor, or the missing constellation Canis Abstentis?
To: RadioAstronomer
WooooHooo here too! Weather forcast for tomorrow night: "Clear skies. Low near 35F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph."
Cold won't bother me because I'll be prepared. I've got a 10 year old Blaze I can curl up in the back of and open the back. I'll have two sleeping bags, a thermos of coffee, and two very large Weimeraners to keep me warm.

I knew I'd screw that up. Abstentis = Absentis, of course.
To: Larry Lucido
I think its on the left side of Uranus.
To: DainBramage
No, that's an asteroid.
To: CarolAnn
Cool! :-)))
