I think this week is the worst possible timing for a "stars" shot.

The moon has been lighting up the sky almost the whole night! So i guess i have to scratch my idea of using astronomical stars in my stars submission. Anyone else having this problem?

But they sure as hell outnumber all the others.

A star can be your dad, granddad/grandma, uncle, an old teacher/mentor, whoever fits the bill.

Very true and I agree, but buckle up for scores in the fours.

But an added bonus...

WEEKEND METEORS: Earth is entering a stream of debris from extinct comet 3200 Phaethon, and this is causing the annual Geminid meteor shower. The shower is expected to peak on Dec. 13th and 14th. Normally, as many as 100 meteors per hour shoot out of the constellation Gemini, but this year a bright Moon will interfere with the display, reducing hourly counts to only 20 or so. That's could still be a nice show. For best results, watch the sky from 10 pm local time on Saturday night (Dec 13th) until dawn on Sunday morning (Dec. 14th).
