Definitely. When is the best time ? Can't do dawn.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 907170 last night i saw my first one at 6:45pm (est) check shortly after dark your time my rule of thumb is usually 10pm-2am but anytime after dark has a chance of seeing them If you cant do the later viewings... make sure you try 8pm or 9 pm i just looked out and i didnt see em yet... so if you check right after dark and dont see em... don't get dishearted... if its clear out... you will see em! happy hunting! Thanks Doc |

Quoting: Mordier L'eft Heck yeah! think i'll go get mine and get it ready! Thanks for the reminder Dr. If the weather permits, I'll do time lapse photos and try to capture them. We regularly have clouds this time of year. If anyone has a tripod and the ability to lock open shutter, then you can most likely capture some. Most digital camera will have a basic open shutter setting of 15 seconds, and the ability for max aperature open. Bring extra batteries, as you will wear down the batteries much quicker doing this. Oh, and extra Sim Card for the space needed to shoot hundreds of 15 second exposures at max detail. Wish the best of you luck. Oregon Constitution Article I, Section 27
