The moon is just past full and is now a major nuisance to meteor
observers. Only after the weekend will it begin rising later in the
evening allowing some dark skies immediately following evening twilight.
The morning sky is hopelessly washed out by intense moonlight during
this entire period. The positions listed below are exact for Saturday
night/Sunday morning July 7/8. The positions do not change greatly day
to day so these positions may be used during this entire period. The
detailed individual shower descriptions will return next week when the
moon is much more cooperative.

Alpha Capricornids  19:08 (287) -15
Antihelion          20:00 (300) -20 
Pegasids            22:36 (339) +15
Northern Apex       01:00 (015) +21 
Southern Apex       01:00 (015) -09 

Clear Skies!
