Didn't you watch these the last time they happened?

I don't think I got a chance to last time, no.

I was thinking it was when you first got your 7x50s.

Yes, I might have been able to catch a few, but not like I really wanted to. Hopefully I'll get a better chance this time.

Here is one that we can use with our binoculars for the summer triangle.

Yeah, this one will be fun. Unfortunately the forecast over here predict cloudy skies until Tuesday night.

Is there a major Fall asterism and if so what is it?

I'm not finding anything on a major fall asterism specifically, but did find this interesting article on the big dipper and how it moves about the night sky through the seasons. I also found something on winter asterisms. Think I'll try changing my keywords a bit. |

I already know the major winter one is Orion. Yeah, and it was neat that constellation was still in the sky when I started observing earlier this year. I just looked up into the sky and there he was.  |
