(meteorobs) Viewing Perseid Activity

[Robert Lunsford]

It's not so much where you look as to when you look. Perseid meteors can be seen anywhere in the sky. Their paths will all lead back 
to the constellation of Perseus, hence the name. Very few Perseids can be seen during the evening hours when Perseus lies low in the 
northern sky. As the night progresses, Perseus rises higher into the northeastern sky producing more activity. The best hour would 
be the last before the onset of morning twilight. This is pretty much the rule for all locations in the northern hemisphere.

I hope this helps!
