Cloudy skies here so I looked at the sattellite and Google Earth and drove 260 miles one way for - NOTHING! Caught a glimpse of the bugger through my 20 x 80 binocs but no go with the cam and scope, as it was way down low and partially obscured by sun-chasing cirrus clouds. I should have stayed home here in Toledo and watched "The Americans" on FX.
3-13-13, Wilmington, IL @ approx. 21:00 CDT. Random dark frame taken some unknown date. As good as anything, 'cause I got nothing!

Such is life.... well you have another week before it gets really faint.. hopefully you'll have at least one lucky night
Well, what the hey, you only live once. Besides, if I HADN'T gone, the sight would have been spectacular and I would have kicked myself for days after seeing all those great images taken from the very same location where I planned on going, but didn't.
