Is there a way to figure this out for a given lat-lon? I’m in Hawaii and find space event things are routinely quite different here since we’re as far away from

- labster 3y agoIt’s the same time everywhere, occurring in the entire sky. You get more meteors on the leading edge of the Earth moving forward in its orbit, so starting at 1AM solar time gets more meteors. You generally stop being able to see them when the sun rises. All you need to look up are the peak days. “Everywhere” excludes the poles though, things get a bit wonky above 80° latitude.
- McKayDavis 3y ago[1] timeanddate.com is a great site that provides a visualization with times and directions for a given city. I don't think its possible to link directly to a specific lat/lon, so you'll have to choose the city yourself. For Honolulu the "very good" times are between 2am-6am HST, with the direction about 40 degrees (NE) [1] https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/meteor-shower/quadrantids.html https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/meteor-shower/quadrant...
