Not sure what your light pollution i s like but I found it very difficult to find. Even now, knowing where it is, it takes almost 5 minutes for my eyes to adjust. I’m gonna set up the tripod in a sec.

That's cool...sadly, those of us in the bottom half of the planet miss out on this light show.

I’m thinking I might drive up to the mountains this weekend with my telescope and SLR and try to get some decent shots of it.

I assume some serious equipment was used.

Without light pollution it would be a whole other ball game.

Not going to deny. Also helps that I live in a dark sky park...

Me? N ah. Any camera will do. I don’t think a phone would cut it though.

I just mean the pic I posted, it must have been a telescope.

Too many clouds for us to see it here in Louisiana. *shakes fist at clouds.

I tried to see it last night, but it still wasn’t dark enough by 10:00 pm (when I was coming in from the garage to go to bed).

Check closer to 11pm until the 22nd of the month . 10:45 might be late enough.

You’re in luck!  You have until the 22nd of the month. Each night it gets higher and easier to see.

I’m on west coast. The night before I saw it at 10:45. Last night I went out at 11. Below and slightly to the right of the big d ipper.
