Where's the best place to watch the Perseid meteor shower in Kansas?

Outdoors. Away from city lights. At night. The previous answer does not answer the question. I live in Wichita KS. I don't know where the absolute best place is as I am looking for the same place. However, north of any city is a good place to start. Most meteor showers in our latitude come from the north, so any time you are looking for one, having city lights in the opposite direction is a good start. I usually go to a dirt road about 3 miles east of camp hawk disc golf course in Newton KS. It is dark, and no one drives down that road until about 5 am, so plenty of good meteor watchin times. Unless you mind cows. That's where I'll be for the draconids shower this year. Hopefully it will be a good one. Hope you see this answer and it helps you. Don

When will the Perseid meteor shower in August 2009 be visible in Jerusalem?

The Perseid shower will enhance the background rate of "shooting stars" all during the night of August 11-12, wherever you are. Astronomers have predicted two Perseid peaks, at about 0100 and 0530 GMT on August 12th, corresponding to 0400 and 0830 (summer-time) in Israel. Neither of these predicted occasions is too useful anywhere in east longitude, on account of the waning gibbous moon and eventual daylight; but there should still be something to watch for at any time during the night of 11 to 12 August.
