Like many others in North America last August 17, I saw a similar maneuver
that took place in less favourable conditions as viewed from Quebec and it was
nevertheless spectacular naked eye and ever more with binocs. To see how it
looked like, I made a drawing of it :

For details of the observation see :

This time, depending on location in Quebec, it will be almost directly overhead.
February skies are more clear that August and if weather cooperate, we will be
treated to a great show. For Quebec observers, I'll put some info in French and
visibility maps on my web site somewhere Wednesday or Thursday. Check
obsat.com.
Cheers,
Dan
