Not to sound like a smartass...but, after dark and up. Which direction you look really depends on where you are and what time, but they're all over. As long as you don't have cloud cover, all you really have to do is get away from the city lights. up to 60 per hour are anticipated and this year the shower coincides with the new moon.
Ok, that was very called-for.However, let me clarify my question:#1: As we all know, there is a peak for these showers. If you're only going to torture your pregnant wife for one or two hours - you don't want to take her out at 10pm if the peak is at 2AM. Make sense?#2: There are several mountain spots to choose from here for me. I can go up the hill by my house and there I only have a view of the EASTERN skies. Or I can drive further to another hill where I can have a clear view of the WESTERN skies.It would really suck to drive up hill B and look to the WEST at 10pm when they fire in the East at 2AM. Make sense?I'm in So Oregon for what that's worth.
It's tough because we have a lot of tall pine trees all over the place.The valley has people and the people have lights, so that's out.Hard to get a wide view of the sky.Although, I just had an idea... I may be able to get my raft going in time, and take us down the river out of the canyons. Hmm.Thanks again. Don't know about everyone else - but I highly value and appreciate being informed of special things in the night sky. I remember I was wheelin near Redding once and the northern lights hit because of a super solar storm. That was one of the best nights of my life. Thanks for the headsup on this cosmic show. I would have missed it if I didn't catch your post.Cheers.
Just a note. If you're interested, go out to the boonies Sunday night and look up. The annual Perseid showers are peaking then.
Not to be a smartass but how do I get to your place?
