sweet gonna go watch it in a field down the road.

**Oisterman** · 10-21-2009, 12:09 AM

Thanks for sharing! I love these, and 6 ish is perfect for me. I'll get up at like 5:29 (stupid smiley lols) and watch through 6. Looks like a clear night!

**Abubakr** · 10-21-2009, 12:27 AM

I'm guessing this applies to Canada too. Going to try and wake up by then. Thanks for sharing.

Go outside tonight when its dark (assuming you live in North America) and look at the sky.

If you can locate that constellation, you should be able to see the shower.

Edit: Its best identified by those 3 in the middle. The others aren't as pronounced as the picture makes them look.

And I suck at finding constellations ._.

It states in the editorial, it does not matter where you live. You will be able to see it.

Thats assuming you have a clear sky. Good luck.

longitude has to do with time zones, whats latitude have to do with? only thing i can think of is that the constellations would be located a little dif.

The time zones do not matter. When its 6am your time thats your time to watch the sky. Anytime between 1am-6am

Of course. When I looked outside a minute ago, solid black overcast sky.

**daroth** · 10-21-2009, 05:36 PM

Did anyone take pics?

**kyrow** · 10-22-2009, 12:34 AM

To the ones who could not see. I had a beautiful clear sky. The stars were shining bright, and I waited in anticipation for a awesome show of lights falling from space! And I waited, and waited...I did not see one shooting star, not a damn one!

So don't feel bad. >_>

**Abubakr** · 10-22-2009, 02:16 AM

I could not see it. It was too cloudy. :S
