I was hoping to try to see this from our dark sky site, but, it looks more like I’ll have to go somewhere closer.

That makes 3200 Phaethon bright enough to be seen in 4'; or 5'; diameter, and bigger telescopes. So, it would not be viewable from my 6" (.5') celestron?
For the record, the article refers to 4" or 5" scopes.

I wish I was 16 years old again, where I would totally brave 20 degree Michigan weather with my telescope for stuff like this.
I’ll try to rig something from my north-facing attic window. Worth a try.
