Chuck, Isn't the best night for Persieds supposed to be Monday the 12th? (I'm not an experienced enough meteor watcher to know how spread out the Persieds are.) My wife and I had intended to be in rural S. Utah on that evening, but plans are fluid at this point. John
John, S&T is reporting the peak will be on the morning of the 12th, not the evening. So, the night of the 11th if S&T is to be trusted. I haven't checked the IMO predictions, however. http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/highlights/Meteor-Showers-in-2013-1... On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 10:33 AM, John M.

I just checked the IMO site and it looks like the peak is from about 1800 to 2100 on the 12th. Isn't that around noon for us, on the 12th? So we may miss the actual peak by 12 hours, either side of peak? Somebody check my math, I'm going to lunch. http://www.imo.net/files/data/calendar/cal2013.pdf On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 10:49 AM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:

Small math error. Should be 1215 through 1445.

Yeah, that's what I posted. The bottom line is no peak for us. The best we can get is a half day before or half day after, approximately. On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 11:57 AM, Brent Watson <brentjwatson@yahoo.com>wrote:

Well, that means we will miss the peak here since it will occur in daylight, but the night of the 11th/ morning of the 12th is closest, so I guess we can believe S&T after all. On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 11:20 AM, Brent Watson <brentjwatson@yahoo.com>wrote:
