Celestial Lights from Ole C. Salomonsen on Vimeo.

Tonight and Sunday night the Lyrid Meteor Shower should dominate the sky, weather permitting.   There is a new moon so no full moon to contend with. 

From Spaceweather.com:

LYRID METEOR SHOWER: The annual Lyrid meteor shower peaks this weekend on the night of April 21-22 when Earth passes through a stream of debris from ancient Comet Thatcher. Usually the shower is mild (10-20 meteors per hour) but unmapped filaments of dust in the comet’s tail sometimes trigger outbursts ten times stronger. This year’s peak coincides with a new Moon, which has prompted NASA to attempt an unusual 3D meteor photography experiment.
