Tonight marks the starting time of the April Lyrids Meteor Shower ..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrids
This is my first time to go and try to observe a meteor shower
..
and I was wondering if anyone had any viewing tips or comments on what maybe to expect..
Ive read that midnight till dawn is best time, as our part of the sky is spinning _into_ the showers source (comet debris or whatever) ..
Bummer that the Lyrids peak is next wednesday (22/4) . Ive got to work next thursday so pulling an all nighter is not that favorable.. On the other hand I would hate to miss the peak (if there is one).
