Hi all. in anticipation of the Perseids peak the night of Thursday/
morning of Friday, I'm looking at the map the Canadian people build
from the same data the Clear Sky Charts are built on:

There's a nifty vertical wall of cloud which should be sweeping from
west to east. As they're currently predicting it, it won't clear the
Triangle area until just before dawn. The further west you go, the
sooner the trailing edge passes.
Does anybody know of a good site to observe an hour or so drive to the
west?
