This item from our local bulletin board seemed worth passing along.
Especially the part about clear skies!

This is a once every 10 to 40 years event.

Look toward the Big Dipper.
It will get brighter each night until it reaches its peak on around
September 9th.
You will need binoculars or a small telescope (3" reflector or larger)
to see it  (and the sky will need to be clear).
