Unfortunately, the peak occurs during the early afternoon here in North America....so, not much to see other than the usual show later that night.

I'll still be looking - so thanks for the reminder OP.

I'll be star-gazing with a perfect sky view -- looking over Lake Huron. No city lights to pollute the sky. No buildings or trees to obstruct my gaze. I just hope that it doesn't rain or get too chilly.

Again, thanks for the reminder. Watching meteor showers has to be one of my favourite activities though I do prefer the Perseids. It's always nice to watch those on a warm August night. It starts getting a bit cool this time of year.
