we were lucky in guelph i guess because we had a mostly clear sky. i looked out my window around 3:00am and saw the moon. was kinda dark and reddish but i could still see it. it contrasted quite dramatically with the almost pure white full moon later around 6:00am. i guess it would have been best to have fired up the expresso maker and lounged out overnight to watch the whole 5-hour show, but it was way too cold for that. i like space. it's cool. got a star walker ap for the ipad that shows all the constellations and planets. it's really cool.
