(meteorobs) Observations 7/27 from Oregon

[Wesley Stone]

I got in two hours this morning.  There was a pretty nice auroral display going on to the north, which I enjoyed in twilight after I stopped counting.  Meteor activity was fair to middling and sporadic-heavy; as expected, the South Delta Aquarids were the most prolific shower with 10 total meteors seen.  The best meteor was a -2 sporadic that left a 5-second train.  I hope to get out again tomorrow morning.
