The peak is predicted for August 12, 2024, at 14:00 UTC. So the mornings of August 11, 12 and 13 are probably your best bet.

For one of the biggest, brightest, meteor showers of the year, I’m unimpressed. I sat out last night, both around midnight and early morning, and saw nothing but stars. No meteors. I probably could have seen some fireballs in the light pollution of the city, but if there were any last night, they were not where/when I was looking.

I spent the night at Packsaddle WMA Monday night. I saw quite a few (maybe 30 or so)? I wasn’t laying back looking for them. I was doing some telescope imaging, a nightscape, and a few timelapses. The northern lights showed up a little bit. Mostly a red/pink color tone in the North East sky, and a bit of faint green all around.
