Any excuse to enjoy astronomy is a good excuse. Don’t forget to try to observe the meteor shower by naked eye as well, it will be peaking shortly before 4 am.

Hope it's like the Leonids I had the good fortune to witness 48 years ago.

There were probably a 1000 or better per minute right before dawn.

A truly amazing spectacle, never saw anything like it since.
The sky was nearly totally yellow/green meteors from my vantage point in south Louisiana.
