I did another short session early last evening, to avoid the moon as much as possible. Unfortunately, the Perseids activity seems to have dropped markedly from the same period 24 hours ago. The previous night I saw 7 Perseids, last night just 2 in a half hour of observing. Conditions were poorer too, with some haze further reduce the LM.
