The Quadrantids meteor shower peaks from København around Jan 3-4, with up to 110 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a half moon will wash out fainter meteors, and from København the radiant in Boötes climbs to 68° above the east horizon around 06:15. Local best viewing window: 00:20–06:15 CET on the peak night, about 5.9 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 110/hour headline figure works out to roughly 102 meteors an hour from København under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: some cloud about, but gaps should be frequent.

- Find a dark spot away from city lights — parks, hilltops, or rooftops work well
- Lie on your back and look straight up — no telescope needed
- Give your eyes 20 minutes to adapt to the dark
- Face east — Boötes reaches 68° at 06:15 CET, its highest while the sky is still dark
