RWD, maybe hold off on that campfire on Wednesday evening? Some of the very best meteors are just after sundown -- they are the "earthgrazers," which are slower and more colorful than the early morning meteors (which are more plentiful). An astronomer told me that they are slow because they are like raindrops going across the back window of a car, rather than raindrops slamming into the windshield. As the earth turns, it rotates into the debris stream left by the comet -- the evening sky is the back window of the car, and the morning sky is the front windshield.
