Not too bad for light pollution where I live, so I've been watching the forecast all day, and plan to sit on my back patio tonight with a bottle of wine and hope that I can spot some of Swift-Tuttle's debris searing its way through the atmosphere - might wander inside later and see if any Enceladus pictures have popped up on the net too.
Looking forward to it!
