[APML] Constellation with Greatest Perseid Meteor Probability



Is there one particular constellation that sees more Perseid meteors than any other?  It seems Andromeda gets quite a few.  However, I would suspect from a statistical standpoint it would be coincidence that this one constellation sees more given the randomness of each meteor emanating from the Perseid radiant.  I would even venture to guess that the more common occurrences found on film are due primarily in the hope of capturing a deep sky object and a meteor within the same field of view.   Are there any more thoughts on this subject?  It sure would be nice to increase our odds, but I'm afraid that any correlation found is probably skewed.
