FIELD NOTE

How to use this window

Find the darkest safe place you can, let your eyes adjust for 20–30 minutes, and look across a wide area of sky. A telescope narrows the view and is not required.

The listed hourly rate assumes very dark skies with the radiant high overhead. Most viewers will see fewer meteors.

Forecasts can shift. Check the source before observing.
