There's no moon this year to obscure viewing.

I think that page assumes a time zone that's different from that
commonly used in some of the newsgroups that this is crossposted to. If
the peak is expected to be at 21:00 UT, and you're in a time zone where
that's night, then that's probably the best time to go looking. There's
no point waiting until 1 am in my time zone.
