September has no major meteor showers, but there are two minor showers that may be worth trying in those years when the Moon permits, the Alpha Aurigids and the Piscids. In 2006 the Moon will not interfere with either shower. The Alpha Aurigids peak on September 1 with an hourly rate of 7, but in some years hourly rates as high as 30 have been noted. The Piscids peak on September 20 with a peak hourly rate of 3.
I have created a low volume email list for advance notification of upcoming meteor showers and unusual astronomical events; especially those that can be observed with the unaided eye, binoculars, or a small telescope. To join, simply enter your email address below and click on the join now button.
