(meteorobs) Some Perseids seen in Central VA!

[FELIX A MARTINEZ]

Just got back from driving around in the Commonwealth of Virginia. 
Managed to observe some nice Perseids (just East of Farmville on a quiet
Farm Road) through a large "sucker"  hole in the clouds.  The sky was
nice and dark (LM 6.5) in the sixty-degree hole.  Saw seven meteors
(mostly Perseids including a gorgeous -2) between 0330 and 0350 UT.  Then
I saw three more Perseids near Gladstone, Virginia in a short session
(0530 - 0545).  Will try some more from Home here in Amherst County,
Virginia, as it appears like these clouds may have some good breaks in
them over the next few hours.  Hope that many of You are already enjoying
the "Show" across North America!
