stargazing!!! wooohoooo

googling around, i found this site - http://my.execpc.com/60/B3/culp/astronomy/

its 17th Oct, 2am+
i woke up, take my 'breakfast', check around the net for guides on stargazing.
after found a few useful site. i start to track down the stars one by one.

it took my around 2hrs to track down half of the south sky. which stars that i tracked down r just the easier/common seen ones, there're more minor stars around them which i couldn't track them down in time.

in this 2 hrs stargazing, i notice a few shooting star, which i doubt is it possible or not cuz i used to think that shooting stars r not that common and shouldn't be able to witness them a few times in 1 night. if what i saw is not imagination, then i did, saw 4-5 shooting stars.

a nice experience, dunno should i be glad that i didn't join my friend's trip or not, cuz if i did i may not able to stargaze and track down few stars which i had nvr been able to.
