-1st ‘naked eye’ observing night. Why?… Persied Meteor Shower. Perfect weather. Clear skies, cool and calm. Jupiter is high in the south near the waxing moon, (which will set at 12:21am) and Mars low in the west. I’ll try to stay up as late as I can since peak observing time is early morning (3-5am) and I have to be at work by 7am :( -I’ll try to keep a tally of meteors seen, as well as any other notable sightings.
