Hawaii was well placed time-wise for the 1100UT peak. It seemed promising; no moonlight and a very transparent LM=5.8 sky from my backyard near Diamond Head- but thats ABOVE the trade wind clouds of course. :( Unfortunately, a wet band of showers decided to come through the islands just this night! Ugh. I had a little bit of lucky clearing just around the peak time, but it didnt last too long. All in all, I was happy to see 33 PER in 1.38 hours of Teff, despite some poor F-factors and a pretty low radiant at this latitude. Oh, and one lonely Kappa Cygnid showed up too!
