Here is a map to help locate the radiant.

Do not look directly at the Radiant (red circle) but look for them shooting along a bit further out (blue arrows). Some can appear even further out but still in a radiant line to the original source.

It is on nights of Meteor watching that you also notice how many sporadics there are (dark sky helps).

I have just been outside, and the same as last night, the Geminids are already spitting out some nice bright meteors. So Friday night should be fantastico!!!

Happy Meteoring
