(meteorobs) Perseids 2005 (was: Re: Major Shower Peaks?)

[Geert Barentsen]

Hello all,

The moon seems to spoil a lot of the fun this year, but the conditions for 
the Perseid maximum look pretty good! (No lunar interference in the second 
part of the night...)

The 2004 Perseids were exciting; the accuracy of the predictions impressed 
me a lot!  I seem to recall that the 1 rev. trail may also produce features 
in 2005? (Is this correct?)  Has anyone been studying the 2005 Perseids in 
more detail already?  Where should the observing expeditions head? :-)

See you at IMC 2005? (!)
Geert
