The annual event will peak tonight... with highest meteor counts likely between midnight and first light. A waning crescent moon will rise around 4:00am. It won't be much of a negative impact on viewing. In fact... since the moon is actually going through the same cometary debris field... sharp-eyed observers armed with a telescope might actually see meteors striking the dark side of the moon!Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10250649260936385548noreply@blogger.com
