I keep reading that the peak of this year's Quadrantids is at an unfavourable time for North America, and for sure 5 p.m. sounds as unpromising as can be. However, living as I do at +54° north latitude, the Sun will set before the time of the maximum, and the radiant at +49° declination will be nicely circumpolar, being at worst 13° altitude. And the Moon will be new. Is there any reason not to expect at least a decent display in the evening hours?

regards, Bruce McCurdy, Edmonton, Canada
