Quadrantid Meteor Shower - Is it worth going out tonight?

[GrumpyGregry]

SWMBO has got it into her head she wants to go see some shooting stars.

C'mon astronomy type peeps assuming it is clear what time, what direction, and is it worth going out for?

Er - you're at least a day too late, aren't you?

depends on the peak and the tail that follows....

it's nippy out... so I'd use the "Ah the moon you see... too bright" excuse.

Yes you are a day too late but it doesn't you won't see any, it just means you''l see less so it might be still worth having a look.
