well the look north-northeast, as that is were the constellation leo is and where the radiant to the meteors will be...they will look like they are coming from leo thats why they are called the leonids

Some people gave you good links in their answers, so you can find when the most spectacular showers can be seen.\n\nBut if you are patient, you can see meteors at ANY time of the year. Just lie down on the ground (its easier to stare at the sky like this), and wait ... I'm sure you won't have to wait longer than 20-40 minutes to see one.\n\nYour geographical location has no importance, but you can see more meteors before dawn then in the evening. Be sure to choose a location which is far away from any city lights (if you can see the Milky Way, its okay :-)

There is the base of Multnomah Falls, or Crown Point for the view.  I am biased about Mt. Tabor in SE Portland,it is an extinct volcano. I was married on top of Mt. Tabor,nice view of the city.

Tonight and tomorrow night. Look after midnight though since the meteors will be arriving from space on the dawn side of the Earth. Before midnight you are on the "back" side of Earth and won't see the meteors. Just before the start of morning twilight is the best time to look. Other than that, they should be visible from any place on Earth.

Anywhere the sky is clear and there are not too many lights. And look after midnight, because the meteors will be hitting the other side of the Earth before midnight. Just before the start of morning twilight is the best time.

Thew next significant meteor shower is the Geminid, around December 17-19.  Start watching about an hour before midnight, local time.  You should see up to 25 meteors per hour (even more if you are up high in mountains far from any city lights).  Assuming clear weather, of course.

If you mean the Leonids, you've missed the peak which was at the weekend.\n\nFor more info, try any one of the thousands of astronomy websites, eg Jodrell Bank Observatory, etc\n\nSkymaps.com is a good one - they'll send you a monthly email with a link to the night sky for that month (north & south hemispheres), with a list of events to look out for.

Just look anywhere in the sky. I saw one about an hour ago, but that was after an hour of looking. Normally you can't see them until after midnight, but unfortunately the predicted swarm only lasts about an hour and will end before midnight in the US. Europe should get a good view though.

Anywhere that is dark and has an unobstructed view of the eastern sky.  Look toward the constellation Leo.

it should start around 6:45-7:45 am for iraq...and the peak lasts 2 hours...so idk if you will get to see it or not...but prob not because they said the best views for the leonids tonight were the east coast of the US and western europe

I would try checking the meteorobs mailing list. And perhaps posting about your sighting to the list.\n\nhttp://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/meteorobs/\n\nThere's also a fireball log here:\n\nhttp://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball/fireball_log2006.html\n\nUpdate: Turns out you weren't alone. There's a bunch of sightings posted in the fireball log I posted above as well as an update that was posted to spaceweather.com\n\n"On Nov. 28th, in a split-second of total coincidence, a meteoroid the same size as the Lunar Leonid plunged to Earth over the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. What happened? Nothing. It disintegrated harmlessly in the atmosphere. A local security camera captured this movie of the beautiful fireball."\n\nAnd here's the movie they are referring to:\n\nhttp://science.nasa.gov/spaceweather/swpod2006/03dec06/huntsville.asf

The Leonids are peaking from around 11:30 to 1:30 est. They are supposed to be intense this time. Look towards the eastern horizon.

The Lyrids will be showering Earth between Apr 15-Apr 28 with the peak being on April 22.  The best time to view them is around 3:00 A.M. and you can expect to see 5 to 20 per hour by looking towards the north.  Unfortunately, this year's Lyrids will be just days after the full moon so many meteors may be lost in the light being reflected from the moon.\n\nAs with all meteor showers, your best chance to see them is to be away from city lights.

A good site is Heavens Above (see link below).  Just register (it's free) and use the database to find tell it where you live by selecting your country then typing in the name of your city (no state, province, county...).  It will give you a list of town by that name to select from.  From there you can get sky maps and lots of other information.\n\nFor example, they also list the times that satellites and other orbiting bodies such as the International Space Station or the Hubble Telescope will pass by in the sky.  Since these objects are in space, they are in full sunlight even when the earth below is in the dark, so you can see a bright spot of light moving across the sky when this happens.  (The light is of course the sunlight reflecting off the satellite.)\n\nHave fun!

Depending on what part of Oregon your in dictates weres best to go.I lived near Portland and know theres a few great camping areas on Mt.hood with some awesome trout fishing.Trillium lake would be my first choice.If you want a more closer to Portland expierence i would try Henry Hagg Lake.in southern Oregon I found Fair to good fishing In the siltcoos lake area .which the lake by the way has/had the Oregon record for biggest largemouth bass,henry hagg has the smallmouth  record.both have Trout which is what i'd fish for especially with the family.
