It is said to be short and the peak of the shower can often occur during the day, which would not be worth the sight.

The predicted peak is on January 4 at 7:53 am EST (12:53 GMT).

That makes the pre-dawn hours — from about 4:53 a.m. EST until dawn — also the best time to observe the shower from North America.

With this great possibility, dark sky travel does not seem possible in 2024, because at that time there will be a bright moon in the sky.
