This is a brief, but very intense
shower. In northern latitudes the radiant
doesn't reach a usable altitude until 2:00
am, so there isn't much time to catch it.
In the past 15 years the shower has his as
many as 235 meteors per hour (1985), so if
the moon isn't too bright, and if you can 
stand the January weather, give this 
a shot.
