The radiant will be overhead only near the very end of the shower, near dawn. For most of the evening it will be slowly climbing, always in the northeast, and relatively low. Mark the radiant on a planisphere and see what I mean. When imaging wide-field, any reduction in light pollution will reap benefits. --- Joe Bauman <bau@desnews.com> wrote:
Chuck, won't the shower's apex be pretty much overhead? If so, maybe it doesn't matter what direction we go. ... Just wondering. Thanks, Joe
