(meteorobs) IMO Shower Circ.: 2nd Perseid profile

[Pierre Martin]

Same here.  I'm still getting all the data for the two nights ready.  I 
hope that it can still make it into a 3rd updated IMO Circ, if one is 
planing to be released.

I would also think that it's quite likely that many observers that are 
out at remote dark skies do not have access to computers and cannot 
send in their reports until at least a few days later.  I think it 
could be worth it if the IMO waits a few days to release the Circ to 
allow for all the observations to come in and then give a more complete 
profile of the shower.

Clear skies!
