Default Flat on my back on top of the fifth wheel

Perhaps tonight or early tomorrow morning I'll go out to the yard an climb up on top of the fifth wheel and see if I can see a few of the Perseid meteors as they impact our atmosphere at a reported 140,000 mph.

As it is parked the inclines of the roof would allow me to lie down on it and face either due east or west. I'm told there may be issues with the full moon.

And as an added perk, the International Space Station will be visible crossing over middle Georgia from the south west at 74 deg elevation about 10:00 pm EDT or so.
