First of all, where are you located? I could help you by running a simulation and sending you a picture of your night sky. I would add clear instructions for finding Perseus and Cassiopeia. Could you both check out my latest article and see if it helps? If not, please tell me and I try to help you. Although the predicted maximum of Perseids is soon over, you should still see lots of meteors during the next couple of nights. For example, here in Finland the maximum is right now and is expected to be over 5 pm. Anyhow, I will watch the sky tonight, and I expect I will see lots of meteors if the weather allows.

Cassiopeia will be higher up. Perseus will be directly beneath and slightly to the right of Cassiopeia, but it will be very faint and hard to see without binoculars. Hope you get this in time.

It requires that both Orion and Cassiopeia be in the sky. Unfortunately, at this time of year (August), Cassiopeia is visible but Orion is not. So how do I locate Perseus? This is time-sensitive because today is the Perseid meteor shower. Tried to use your tips on finding Perseus. It requires that both Orion and Cassiopeia be in the sky.
