I think you're in luck. From what I've read, the meteor shower should occur at 1943 hours Greenwich Mean Time (now called Universal Time) on the 17th. If you are +800, that would mean 0543 on the morning of the 18th. Predicting the exact time is imprecise, as the absolute shape of the conical debris field surrounding the comet's trajectory is unmapped and may have concentrations that cause meteoric displays at times other than predicted. So take so NoDoz and keep you face skywards from midnight til dawn and hope for no clouds. Hey its only once every 33 years so who knows ? Hope it doesn't disrupt your NavAids. Now the other question, can you see the constellation Leo from your Latitude ? You're pretty near the equator. No idea where that would place the constellation in your sky. Actually, needed your info, since Bernie only gave times to East Coast. I have no idea what the time diff between East Coast and England is. Those Brits! How come they got the Prime Meridian and placed the International date line smack in the middle of the Pacific puddle. Every time I've crossed it, I get so confused its like a mystical experience.
