Its been a while since I submitted a formal report, so I spent an hour of Teff under some average conditions in my backyard in Woodside, California. The primary goal of course, was to look for any signs of the tau-Herculids. I had a fairly decent LM 5.6 skies under the setting crescent Moon, some light pollution and some passing high clouds.

Unfortunately the meteor activity was about the poorest I can remember :( Only a pair of ANT and SPO each in an hour, no sign of any activity from northern Bootes. The only decent meteor was a single mag 1 ANT which slowly crept upwards from Sagittarius. Everything else was faint. Typical June I guess...
