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?

J.
