    Just now 9:45pm, Saratoga:

    Through Andromeda, through Apheraz,
    Through a break in the bright backlit rising
    Moonlit marshmello clouds
    Suddenly looking up for no reason,
    I saw a bright star trail of planetary dust.

    A Geminid! And NOT a comet.

    Go look! Who says there's no astronomy on
    a moony rainy Holiday night?
