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.

This morning was about the same intensity as yesterday in my AO. Yesterday, the show was directly North and lower in the sky. This morning, it was NE and higher in the sky. I still haven't been able to get color images. Though this morning under NODs, there was a meteor shower going on simultaneously, so that was kinda cool.
