Holy Cosmic Leonids, Batman!

wish upon a leonid

I wanted to stay awake for the Leonid meteor shower early this morning but I just couldn't do it after mowing, mulching, a hoovering the leaves from the lawn yesterday. It was less spectacular than the predicted 4000 an hour but a few intrepid souls stayed up and took some nice photos of the event. I have Starry Night Pro for the Mac which is the neatest software if you are into astronomy at all. The same company also recently released Deep Space Explorer which looks just as interesting and as well done as Starry Night.
