August meteor shower.

Look for meteors from the Perseid shower in early August. The peak will be early mid August and sources say that moonlight will be a problem. ( Can be overcome!)

Peak will bring up to 150 meteors and hour. Comets come from the direction of the Perseus constellation, hence the name. Tonight at midnight the shower will be 44′, altitude 35.6. (44 degrees from true north azimuth, height is degrees over horizon, from Kamloops BC.)

Clear sky August 3rd to 6th Merritt BC

Partly cloudy tonight however not enough to block all showers. There will be good clear sky in Merritt August 3rd – 6th.
