    Near full moon and very bright tonight. Hard to see stars or shooting stars. Bright enough to walk through the yard or pasture without flashlight

    Hey Meche_03 I had the same problem last night, the moon was so bright there was no chance of seeing shooting stars. I will try again in a week or so and hope for better viewing conditions! :hair:

    Full moon and local skyglow made it impossible to even see stars.
