I am trying to see the Quadrantid Meteor shower that is supposedly peaking in the northeast corner of the sky tonight.

I’ve heard it said that the moon being almost full (99% waxing gibbous) will make it too bright to see much

                                                    if anything at all

                                                     but I am hopeful.

Here’s a nice picture from the above website:

What’s even nicer is that this picture was taken by photographer Jeff Berkes, over the Florida Keys in early January 2012.
