I expect to get there about 5pm.
So that will be a 7 hour stint just to midnight.

I also read about the delta aquarid meteor shower. Is it possible to see it during the evening since the moon will set early ? If I can see it, then I guess I would be able to come early
There will be no moon, so I expect that you will see meteors.
Especially as there are three major showers listed for this month.
Admittedly, the experts say morning hours are most prolific, due to the direction of the Earth's travel.
But we always spot plenty even when no major shower is predicted.
