The best shooting stars can usually be found in late summer, as the Perseids make their way by our lovely blue ball in space. This year we are so lucky to have a new moon near the peak on AUG 13th, which is a Monday night.
The local National Forests are an excellent viewing spots for this event. May as well campout too. The parking lot is sure to be full at Mount Pinos, but we have other plans local to Los Padres.
On the link above you will always be able to find the most recent meteor showers, the peak nights & anticipated rate per hour. We have all the observatories in California & Baja listed as well. Plus a whole page dedicated to stargazing & viewing these shooting stars.
