I decided to go out and see some meteors. I found out that the Taurids http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurids are currently visible.
The both radiant points are at 25° and 35° above the horizon currently at around 90° azimuth and the moon is at about 270° azimuth. Will I be able to see some or is the moon to bright for that? And will I really be able to see 5 in a hour?

N=5*1h*sin34°/2.3^6,5-3,5=0.23
so only 0.23 per hour. I'll better wait for the Geminids.
