And if you have cloudy skies then don`t forget to listen to them on your FM radio.

Clear skies forecast here for tonight.

And no Moon to spoil the show!

I'm going to get the garden lounger out and I'm going to put a Canon lens on the ASI294MC and see what I get.

We will be lucky if we can see them in my part of Ohio. Cloud cover will be between 25 and 50 percent
