3 good options in ascending distance from Salt Lake all with great views to the NE; Little Mountain, the Gravel Pit, & Wolf Creek. Considering it is nearly new moon, Wolf Creek would be a great place if you intend to stay up all night and get some stargazing in too. Dave On Monday, August 9, 2004, at 09:48 AM, Chuck Hards wrote:
The radiant will be overhead only near the very end of the shower, near dawn. For most of the evening it will be slowly climbing, always in the northeast, and relatively low. Mark the radiant on a planisphere and see what I mean.
When imaging wide-field, any reduction in light pollution will reap benefits.

Chuck, won't the shower's apex be pretty much overhead? If so, maybe it doesn't matter what direction we go. ... Just wondering. Thanks, Joe
