    Early evening lang, kay Draco sets after 11 PM. Look towards the northern sky. This is best viewed AWAY from the city, preferrably in dark farmlots or mountains.

    I doubt that this is a meteor storm, the estimated ZHR is only 600. A good storm like the Leonids in 1999 is about 3000 ZHR.

    Another reason to doubt a good viewing--crappy Philippine weather.

    Anyways, using Stellarium, I made a locator, for the intrepid skywatcher:

    crossing fingers that we'd have some stargazing weather tomorrow.

    My latest check at SSEC seems to indicate a 50/50 chance of fair weather tomorrow night.
