Anywhere also can, but NNE direction would be the best.

Check the weather forecast too.
Does not look good with cloud cover and possible thunderstorm with rain.

All the best to everyone and hope we will get lucky tonight.

I woke up early and went out watch.

In about 1 hour, i saw a few small streaks and one bright one.
The bright one was the only highlight of the session.
Not really as many as the 100+ per hour as they say.

I got lucky as before i left, the clouds almost covered up the entire area already.
