Viewing Guide

Optimal Observation Conditions

Meteors are best viewed during the night hours, though meteors enter the atmosphere at any time of the day. They are just harder to see in the daylight apart from dawn and dusk. Any nearby ambient light or Moon light can make viewing difficult. Meteor showers are best viewed completely away from city lights.
