[Michel Vandeputte]

Hi folks,

New report from 23-24 July. Rising Perseid activity. Very strange ; but I didn't see one single meteor from the Aquarid- Capricornid complex. Do I become blind ? Sporadic rates were pretty high. After 02.00 UT, there were some NLC's visable just before dawn. Enjoy the new report.
