Although I am not expected a greatly enhanced level of activity, it might be an idea to set the lawn chair outside for 15 mins and see if there are any horizontal grazers at the local zenith - of course reserving any expectations. Maslov predicted the main peak at 9UT 8-12 (3AM Wednesday, this morning) based on an encounter with a remnant of a 1610 C.E. stream fragment. At 8UT (2AM), the two closest radio meteor network observing stations to Salt Lake are at Apache Junction, Arizona (Steve Roush) and Kelowna, British Columbia (Jeff Brower). The Arizona continuous amateur monitoring station shows a minor peak of around 70 ZHR meteors per hour at 8UT. (Note radio meteor detection sees fainter than the naked eye observering and captures more meteors.) The Canadian station shows a peak of 260 ZHR at 8UT. see url: http://217.169.242.217/rmob/pages/liveradiometeorpage.php The traditional peak will be during daylight hours at 8-12 17:30-20:00UT (until 2pm MDT, right now). The Perseus is for Salt Lake presently (1:30 MDT) low in the northwest (during daylight). The most westerly RMOBS station is in Prince George Canada and is not showing slightly enhanced readings, but no peak yet. The rest of the RMOBS network is in Europe and there are no network stations in Oceania, the Pacific Rim or India. So, it is unlikely any European readings showing the level of the shower's activity will be available until later tonight (Salt Lake time). You can check the RMOBS site to see if there is an elevated level in Europe - a fair predictor for what might be seen as the Perseid's radiant rises over the eastern SLC horizon later this evening. A third RMOBS station is to the east of us - Mike Otte in Pearl City, Illinois. If that station is running tonight, you can use it to get an "over-the-horizon" peak at conditions. At 11:30 MDT tonight, the third-quarter Moon will be rising over the eastern SLC horizon in the northeast (blocked initially from view by the Wasatch Mtns). At that time, Agol (alf Per) will be at 13 degrees over the northeast horizon. Horizontal grazers at the local zenith may be a possibility - again reserving any expectations. By midnight, the Moon will rise over the horizon and wash most of the sky out around Perseus. Clear Skies, Kurt
