(meteorobs) Perseids: S. Carolina

[Mark Davis]

This morning (8/13)I began observing at 0115 local time and was completely 
clouded by the end of the first hour. During the early part of the period I 
recorded 6 Perseids and 1 sporadic. The last 35 minutes provided no action.

During the morning of August 12 I observed for 1.72 hours, but had cloud 
coverage in the range of 25-35 percent. Average limiting magnitude for the 
period was 5.18, but I suffered from poor, hazy conditions which is typical 
for this time of year along the coast. Final count was 1 KCG, 17 PER, 4 
SPO).

We are having rain/thunderstorms at the moment - with no improvement 
forecast, so my observing run (what little it has been) is over. I plan to 
catch up on some sleep and hope to begin publishing reports later tonight. 
As normal, a major shower peak results in an influx of new NAMN members. For 
those of you that have emailed me, I'll process those requests once I get 
the meteor reports done.

Clear skies!
