After a year, the Perseids are here again! The activity of the stations is not very high yet, but it will surely increase as the peak of the swarm approaches. We expect that one 11.-13.augusta 2020, when ZHR is to exceed the number one hundred. However, the Perseids are characterized by a relatively broad maximum. There should also be favorable conditions for visual observations. What is the best time to watch? After midnight until sunrise, i.e. until 05:30.
