Hello,

as Koen Miskotte already wrote, we observed the Perseids from a little
village in the southwestern parts of Germany (Britzingen).
During our visual observations, Romke Schievink recorded Perseids on tape.
All the time the radiant was in the centre of the video, and beta Cas was
just visible at the edge upper right.
The results seem to confirm the observations of Sirko Molau with a peak
activity between
20:57 and 21:07 UT.
Below are the counts in 10 minutes-intervals:

Time(UT): Number of Perseids:
20:07-20:17 2
20:17-20:27 3
20:27-20:37 5
20:37-20:47 5
20:47-20:57 6
20:57-21:07 13
21:07-21:17 3
21:17-21:27 6 (70 sec. pause)
21:27-21:37 2
21:37-21:47 4
21:47-21:57 5
21:57-22:07 3
