If anyone is interested there is a Meteor shower going on right now... Apparently it will peak on June 27th, and is suspected to be pretty good.

I wasn't aware there was a meteor shower happening right now, I actually looked it up because I have seen two in the past three days. They both were located right in the middle of the constellation Cassiopeia! Don't know if that is where the Bootids take place 'cause I can't seem to find a site that will point me in the right direction. I'm located in Virginia if that makes a difference in apparent location.
 
thanks for that. I just took a look outside, the viewing conditions are great with a clear sky - and within a couple of minutes I saw a shooting star go right past Cassiopeia
