I have had solid rain for two days now and counting.
So I will probably only see orange clouds!
If it's clear your way, try to get out and catch a few.

Quadrantid meteor shower, 3-4 January 2024.
Well, it's a new year and our first meteor shower is upon us!
I have had solid rain for two days now and counting.
So I will probably only see orange clouds!

Tonight is the peak for this shower, best seen in the early hours before dawn.
Good luck everyone.

Rain here too. My hopes for an early morning session were scuttled this morning.

I was out early this morning to catch a few...99 percent clouds! Hopefully next year!
I did observe the event in 2016 (25 meteors) and again in 2021 (5 meteors).
Regards,
Dave
