(meteorobs) Observation 27-28 July 2004

[Pierre Martin]

Hi Lew,

It looks like the peak SDAs maybe came a bit late this year.  I have 
suspected this in past few years as well.  I typically never see good 
SDA rates prior to July 28 but usually, they show up nicely in the days 
immediately after that, especially despite my high latitude (45deg).

Just last night (July 28/29), I managed to observe under HEAVILY fogged 
skies, and despite the very poor LM (maybe 5.0 max), I caught a number 
of nice SDAs.

I'll send a full report soon.

Clear skies!!

- Pierre
