Meteor Showers

So, who wants to drive with me to some isolated campsite the night of Friday, August 31, so we can watch the Aurigid meteor shower between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. Saturday morning? The center of the shower is between the sun and the moon, so it's a very limited viewing opportunity, but some have predicted it'll be a good show.

PS: I already have plans for the Perseids on the morning of August 12. That's our first anniversary weekend (our first first anniversary!), so we're going backpacking up near Mt. Baker.

Also, the Delta Aquarid shower is happening right now, but it's very low on the southern horizon near the full moon. It peaks tomorrow morning.
