Quadrantid Meteor Shower Tonight - Moon Interferes.

Hello everyone,

Tonight is the Quadrantid Meteor Shower and for the brave watchers out there, the weather looks as if it will likely cooperate.  However, with a Waning Gibbous Moon in the sky, only the brightest of themeteors will be visible.  Scroll down for sky chart.  From Spaceweather.com:

The Quadrantid meteor shower is one of the year's best, often producing more than 100 meteors per hour from a radiant near the North Star. In 2012 forecasters expect the shower to peak around 07:20 UT (02:20 am EST) on Wednesday, January 4. The peak is brief, typically lasting no more than an hour or so, and it does not always occur at the forecasted time, so observers are encouraged to be alert for meteors throughout the early hours of January 4th.
