perseid meteor shower

will it be visible at any point..or do i have to actually..find mars..cause its a pain

Just look to the east (the side the sun rises) Rise in the east set in the west...Mars is not imperative to find, it is just an indicator that you are looking east. If you are still not sure where east is look at the sunset and then do a 180 ...lol East will then be behind you. They will have multi color tails and they will be the slowest streaks you have ever seen. YOU CAN'T MISS THEM I PROMISE!!!!!

I used to go out to Dos Cabesas, out in the desert, to watch the showers. I really miss doing that. If you have the chance to get away from city lights and watch the spectacle (preferably not alone) it's well worth it.

I've seen some. Well, since i realised that i was looking west. Fortunately I'm away from the city and the night is a nice clear one. It's almost 3 here, and I'm not sure if i saw, or missed the best bit, but what I did see was pretty amazing, glad someone reminded me of it, cheers.
