The Perseid meteor showers should reach their peek on 8-12-07, the new moon is also on 8-12-07 and the sky should be dark. If you are lucky enough to be at sea and far from city lights, and there are no clouds, it could be a great show.

Thanks for the heads up. We'll be in the Pa. mountains that night, but sometimes it can get pretty clear up there.

We did see a shooting star on our recent trip on Sovereign. That was pretty cool itself.

Would love to see a shower!!
