layer was shallow, allowing the lights of San Diego to be seen. I had to 
shift my view toward the northeast to face the darkest skies. I counted for 
four hours this morning (1am-5am PDT) and recorded a total of 170 meteors. 
127 were Perseids, one KCG, and 42 sporadics. The LM still average +6.6.

I need to get more sleep so I'm keeping this short. Although there are some 
cirrus clouds now present, the conditions look good for tonight.

More Later!
