Meteor Shower This Weekend

[vesper]

Sat and Sunday night are great nights to watch meteors. Moon is late and low and about 100 meteors an hour expected. If you own a DSLR, you could capture one in a photo.

Thanks for the heads up!

Will we see the meteor shower in ON? or just SK?

Right across the continent. Best time to look is after midnight. Won't be clear skies here though, maybe next year.

That's the peak time, you should be able to see some during the hours leading up to it.

I'm hoping the rain gods have been appeased and now go away.

It looks like the rain gods like it here. We appear to have another week of rain in the forcast. HOwever since 2 sets of neighbours are having parties today, I doubt if the light pollution would have helped...
