New meteor shower for a fairly recently discovered comet, 209P/LINEAR.

Experts say that it has the potential to produce 100-400 meteors per hour with the radiant being right at the north pole in the Camelopardalis constellation.

I think I might head out to the country and see whats up since I have struck out on meteor showers this year, and got clouded out of the blood moon.

Hopefully there will be some good action before the 3AM peak
