I saw 4 while driving to work last night. Only a ten minute drive. I think tonight I will brave the cold during my breaks.

you use it as a star map, lets you know what you can see and where to find it , it also has pics of the planets and there moons (select the planet and zoom in), it also has pics of nebula's, if you need more help you can download this PDF of the user guide http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/stellarium/stellarium_user_guide-0.8.1-1.pdf

The night before last i went camping and the sky was very clear. When we were sitting around the fire, a couple shooting starts caught my eye over the course of like 10 minutes. We went out into the middle of the cornfield with our chairs onies, and beers and enjoyed quite a show! I bet i saw about 20 in a half hour-an hour. I wasn't counting though.
