Darn it doesn't say it can be seen in the Southern Hemisphere...oh well, thanks for the heads up anyway :)

May you will see them and we will not sense the world is upside down. Thanks Made In His Image!

Hope it's a clear night then! I might get out in the local park and see if I can get some picture of it.

Yeah, it seems that every time there is a celestial event that I want to see we get clouds. Good luck my friend!

I had no idea! Put this in my phone as a reminder.

Thanks David! I hope you get clear skies.

I am looking forward to it.

Great, I hope you have a perfect sky for your stargazing.

I will definitely be watching the shower!

I'm ready. My Nikon is ready as well!

I wish you clear skies for this great photo opportunity.
