Visiting my dad on Kauai for the Christmas holiday. His place is outside of Lihue, with not too much light pollution, so one can see a good number of stars. I tried on Friday night to check things out. I wasn't keeping time but I did manage to stay out from 9:30 to 10:00 pm on one session and another session from 11:30 pm to about midnight.
While I had a hard time identify the Big Dipper and Polaris I did see a small metor streak going from east to west on the south side, this was around 9:40 to 9:50 pm.
For the 11:30 pm session I noticed a light going from west to east also on the south side. Figured it for a plane but I doubt it, it was a commerical jet coming from the South Pacific going to Honolulu.
