By all means try to get out and see them this year! If the predictions are
right it could be a "storm" not a shower. It is a 33 year cycle that the
earth's orbit passes through the debris left behind by comet Tempel-Tuttle.
Once place for more information:

I plan to photograph this and I will share my results with the group if they
come out.
