Night Sky Alert

This is the big weekend for the peak viewing opportunity of the Perseids Meteor showers. The best times will be between 2 and 4 a.m. for the next few nights with the early morning hours on Monday being the best (approx 50/hr). Tonight there has been a lot of high thin cloud which has prevented me from seeing any so I'm hoping for clear skies to come our way. Although it's removed from actual urban areas here there is enough light pollution from the south to affect viewing. Sunday night I plan to be another 20 miles north, approximately in the middle of nowhere. If you're able to find Casseopea you're looking in the right area.
