We had marginal conditions, but I was able to observe meteors for an hour
when some large sucker holes went over us. In spite of the 50% average cloud
cover, I did see a nice blue-green 1st magnitude alpha Cygnid (ACG), and a
2nd magnitude yellow July Pegasid (JPE) with a one second train. Transparency
was good (LM 6.2), but not great as there was some haze. Below is a breakdown
of what was seen.
