It's supposed to peak between 8/9 - 8/13. A new moon will also take place on 8/14 so it should be a better show than most years.
The link I pasted below defaulted to Colorado Springs when I opened it. I'm not sure if it will change depending on where you are. http://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/meteo...er/perseid.html -------------------- I'm never lost. I'm always directly above the center of the Earth.

Thanks!
Glad I went yesterday morning instead of today! Stormed until after midnight and was still cloudy this morning when I got up at 0430! -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558
