Always depend on luck! (Then you don't have to be modest about your skills?)
So we were skunked on Friday evening - heavy cloud, some rain on our way home.
Still we had a party of 10 and that company was quite good and entertaining. We reassembled last night for a better "show" - which I am now going to "tell".
The light show started after the heavy rains stopped:
The rainbows were in the East, the mist over the pasture to the West, and the tree looking North over Bluebird Ranch.
The clouds were lit at first by sunlight:

The cloud at right then put on its own show for us:
I did not record any meteors last night but saw lots. Here is one photo extending from Cass to Peg and includes Messier's 31st entry in his catalogue of comet-like objects:
Maybe I was "lucky" and did record a meteor?
