Guide
Meteors are best viewed during the night hours, though meteors enter the atmosphere at any time of the day. They are just harder to see in the daylight apart from dawn and dusk.

Any nearby ambientlight, Moonlight can make it difficult viewing. Meteor showers are best viewed away from the city lights.
