Chuck, Thanks for the obs rep. For the next Perseid years, there I think I'll be trying for the 3am or 4am to 5am window by going to bed at 7pm and getting up at 2:30am. I believe Rodger Fry had good luck with the 3am-4am slot the year before last; Kim did this year. That seems consistent with NASA and IMO plots of the peak for this shower. - Kurt
It was so nice this year to see so much of main stream media telling people to wait until midnight or later to watch. Most all of us here probably know evening is not the best time to look but most all of us here have probably also heard from folks about the "lousy" meteor shower they tried to watch just after sunset. patrick
