Around 2/3rds of the way to the Zenith is the bright orange star Arcturus. Above that you will see a delicate curve of faint stars, the Corona Borealis. The radiant for the shower will lie approximately between Corona Borealis and Arcturus.

If you are thinking of looking, the radiant is located in eastern Bootes near the fourth magnitude star Delta Bootis. The best time to view possible activity is near midnight when the radiant is highest in the sky. This shower is well placed for viewing in the northern hemisphere as it passes through the zenith for those located at 40N latitude. Expect maybe one or two per hour, but who knows, something might happen. The real showers should be due in 2049 :-) Over on the Meteorobs group they are predicting minimal, if any action from 73P.
