stardate.com/nightsky/meteors says peak is the “night of Aug 12th” and it
includes a note that the Moon rises at dawn. 
http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/earthskys-meteor-shower-guide says the
2015 Perseids will peak on the mornings of Aug 11, 12 and 13th. But below the
paragraph it shows Perseids on Aug 12-13.
http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/meteor-showers-in-2015-12142014/ says
the best Perseids viewing is the morning of Aug 13th (chart), at 60-80 per hour.
I guess predicting a meteor shower peak is more art than science...

Terri, thanks for setting this up. The link that you have in the PAS website
for this event is something called timeanddate.com. It explains the best times
and dates to view the meteor shower. It first says the meteor showed peaks on
August 11th. At the end it shows viewing for Thursday Aug 13th through Friday
August 14th. Are we sure that the best night is Wed Aug 12th through Thursday
Aug 13th?

Anyone else at PAS who has any info, it will be appreciated. Thanks, Sam

Good morning PAS Members,
















A new event has appeared on the PAS Calendar for Aug 12 Perseus Meteor Shower.
It's a PAS Members only event. You can RSVP your attendance here: 
http://www.pasaz.org/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=1738&day=2015-08-12
















It is a Snacking event, not a potluck. BYO food if you wish to eat while there,
otherwise, have dinner before you come, and bring snacks and drinks to share. 
















The moon phase will be awesome for viewing, so if you wish to bring a scope,
you can. Everyone can enjoy the viewing of the Meteor Shower.
















Set up for scopes is 7-7:30pm.






Dark isn't until 9:30. This is the earliest time to see the Meteors. Of course,
the best time is after Midnight, but some of us can't stay that late due to
work the next day. 
















Please see more details in the Private calendar listing at the link above. Hope
to see you there!






Terri, Event Manager
