In late July, the meteors radiate near the area of Alpha Capricorni, a double star visible to the naked eye. This area of the sky rises in the east at about 8 p.m. Local Daylight Time, but very little activity can be seen at this time because many of the meteors are blocked by the horizon.

The Perseid, delta Aquariid, and alpha Capricornid meteor showers will put on a crisscrossing display towards the end of July.
