This was looking north. the sky finally cleared out here a bit after 4 am and in the camera LCD they were easier to see, with my eyes it just looked like the sky was slightly brighter than normal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatamy Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I turned in at 10:00 PM and it was cloudy and drizzly. I woke up at 3:00 AM and somehow the skies had cleared out and I got some great pictures. The website is not letting me upload them. This morning I am all fogged in. What I saw was just like what Don saw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 10 miles NE of Allentown in Bethlehem Twp. It was faintly visible to the naked eye. My iPhone saw them very nicely. What was amazing was how the sky cleared out in the middle of the night. It’s not like there was a strong cold front that came through to do that either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to look around 10 PM tonight. I’m not sure, but they will be visible. Clouds could be a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping we have some clear skies early tonight to see more of them. When I woke up at 3 am there were still clouds to the north and northwest, but it was clear to the northeast and in other directions, I waited an hour and the whole sky cleared up nicely Where's a good cold front when you need one lol? It was absolutely frigid this morning though, deep blue skies and very low humidity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't use my light pollution filter, I wonder how much it would have helped. It's a slot filter that blocks certain wavelengths of light that are most associated with street lights.

So it looks like we could see plenty of rain/storms and cooler temps (70’s) at least until the end of the month. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 42 to 53 now and sunny. Low - mid 60s. Clouds and showers back tomorrow. Looks like 1 clear day for every three or four for the next 2 weeks. Overall, cooler - plenty of clouds easterly fetch and rain chances. Next period for some heavier rains May 17 - May 21. Warmer period to close the month would be next shot at sustained (dry) warmth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
