Looks like it will hit G5 and K9 (the highest number of the K scale) between 0900-1200 zulu tonight/tomorrow morning. Instead of peeking outside late tonight, I think I'll just hit the rack early and get up at 0400.

Also, I found a neat smartphone astrophotography guide from NASA if anyone is interested:

Near Golden CO:  88% to 94% cloud cover until dawn.  Thus far, to 11:59 MDT Satrday, no comm or power problems .  Will be rainy-ish all day Sunday. Told Son 2 to wish Wife1 happy Mother's Day.
