Dave,

Apparently the Kappa Cygnids are putting out fireballs this year.  The number of
meteors seems to be normal  - no more than 3 per hour, but there are an unusual
number of reports of mag. -6, -8 and even -10 KGC's.  It looks like the weather
will no cooperate at all here for at least the next week.  Even with a limiting
magnitude of 5.0 it may be worth while to go out and observe a while, but will
be very lucky to get even that!
