The Geminds shower should be the best this year, boasting 120 per hour from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. The moon is ideal for this shower at a waning crescent and will not interfere with our viewing.
This location is particularly dark and has an excellent view of the Northeast, too.
This will be posted on the club calendar. Public may attend, but it's primarily for our club members' enjoyment.
There's a large area to view this on a small apron south of the U shaped road. It's all paved. An alternate location is in the larger oyster shell parking lot in the western section of the fairgrounds.
