    Just a reminder to everyone for Quadrantids this Thursday, weather forecast could be better but hopefully we will get a few clear spots.

    We deserve a good clear night, its been a while since we had a good display of a decent shower, but asking for a clear night in Ireland is asking for alot :mad:

    Happy watching

    Hey, you can pretty much see them in any part of the night sky you do not have to focus in on any particular area but they will all seem to originate from a region beside Ursa major (big dipper)

    This particular showers peak is hard to catch as it has only a small window at unsociable hrs... closest to dawn is best but you might be lucky to see some anytime but as I say better chance between midnight & dawn

    Good luck
