Re: (meteorobs) Arietids
Hi Kim,
I intend to get up early to give the Arietids a try this Friday
morning. From my location, the radiant rise is near 3:20 local time
(less than 2 hours before sunrise). This means most of this period
for Arietid earthgrazers will be under increasing twilight. I would
be happy to see even a single Arietid. I'll keep you posted on
whether or not I had any success. See...

Also, I was wondering when the exact peak time is predicted to be
this year? Or perhaps this is a very broad activity shower? Thanks.
