Need advice where to observe the meteor shower on August11/ 12th. Need a dark place with a view to the Northeast. Should be a good show. The moon will not be full like last year. Thanks

I don't know,I suppose xtabi looks west,can't imagine it will be a prob,huge sky little light pollution should be awsome
Saw a nice one, fat and slow, Thursday Night on the Outer Banks in NC. falling into the Eastern Horizon. It even had pieces breaking off of it and sparking in the tail and lasted for over a second, maybe two or three. Quite impressive.
Nick, Your meteor was part of the Delta Aqualid shower. Late July it is not as prolific as the Perseids but as you found produces some good ones. The Perseids can produce up to 60.in one hour!
