Hi All,

after a bad storm yesterday afternoon it cleared up nicely in the 
evening. I drove to the location of this year's Astronomical camp. 
The skies were very clear and my zenithal LM counts reached past 
+6.7 mag.
I observed from 23:17 local time until the Moon became too much 
of an annoyance. I recorded 48 meteors in this three-hour watch, 
30 of them being Perseids. I am sure I missed much of the activity 
as I was not rested enough. A few bright meteors were seen, 
including two Perseid fireballs: both -3 magnitude meteors apearing 
at 22:50:20 UT and 23:43:09 UT, both leaving a 4-second 
persistant train.
Today we start our Astronomical camp, and we hope to have some 
clear skies in the next 9 days.

Clear skies!
Javor
