Subject: Predicting favorable windows for observing meteor impacts on Moon's dark limb?
|
Does anyone have any recommendations for predicting when the most
favorable meteor showers will be for the remainder of the year for
observing dark limb meteor impacts on the Moon?
I am assuming that the current Perseid peak is unfavorable since the
thin dark limb of the Moon will be facing away from the direction of
the Perseid radiant?
This supposes that a favorable period for observing meteor impacts on
the Moon is:
1) There is dark limb of the Moon visible from Earth.
2) That faces the direction of the meteor shower radiant and coincides
with maximum anticipated ZHR for the shower.
What would be the favorable windows for the remainder of the year?
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.
