(meteorobs) Flashbulb KCGs

[Bill Godley]

I had a flashbulb KCG also on the morning of the 14th.  Best meteor I have seen in a long time.  I estimated -5 just because I was afraid to say brighter.  This was at 6:35 UT from NE Oklahoma, Tulsa area.

Pete, I also saw one of these on Monday morning. It even went through 
the FOV of one of my cameras, although due to the wide/slow lens it's no 
where near as impressive as it was in real life! If only it had been in 
the FOV of one of my other cameras!

The photo is on my web page here :

I felt it was a good show this year overall, with plenty of fireballs, 
and brighter Perseids. Faint ones were in the minority. 136 Perseids 
seen in 3.5 hrs, but I was not able to observe all the time, as I had to 
attend to the cameras! The best part of the show (last 30 or 40 minutes 
before twilight) was also lost due to cloud.
