Hi Sirko,
Soon they will increase the number of the Italians who make observations
video! : -)
Still I do not succeed to analyze meteors with UfoAnalizer well.
However also I have a high activity of Kappa-Cygnidi to the August end (I
have various nights with good sky).

fluctuation,

observatory,

> Summary: This ingredient to a new record was not missing in August.

> - Active meteor showers: In principle you may expect new records only in
> August, October and December. Nobody will question August (Perdeids) and
> December (Geminids), but you may ask why October and not November
(Leonids)
> or January (Quadrantids). The answer is simple - it's not only the meteor
rate
> that counts, but also the length of the nights. The Perseids provide
plenty of
> meteors for many nights, but the nights are quite short. October, on the
other
> hand, presents almost half of the Perseid activity thanks to the Orionids,
> Taurids and sporadic activity, and the nights are almost twice as long.
The
> time of the Leonids is over, and the activity interval of the Quadrantids
is
> ways too short.
> Summary: Also this ingredient for a new record was present, not to forget
that
> the Perseid maximum coincided with new moon in 2007.
>
> - Good weather: In the end, everything depends on the weather. The most
> splendid meteor shower is worth nothing if you only record "hydro
meteors".
> In this respect, the last month was not perfect, but ok. Many observers
> collected more than 20 nights again, even if only few of these were
perfectly
> clear. Just in time the weather cooperated with the observers: On August
12/13,
> 19 cameras were in operation (one of my automatic cameras failed just that
> night because of a power outage), and in the next night once more 15
cameras
> (here one of my camera failed because of a software bug - Murphys law!).
> Summary: Also the most important ingredient was present by August.
>
> So all things came together for a new highscore, and already by mid-August
> the meteor number grew over 10,000. By the end of the months we had
collected
> nearly 14,000 meteors, which falls only slightly short of the so far best
> results (14,173 meteors in October 2006). However, 6 nights from REMO1 as
well
> as the data of KAYAK1 and ICC3 are still missing, so I'm optimistic that
in the
> end we may have even recorded close to 15,000 meteors!
>
> With more than 1,500 hours of effective observing time, August presented a
> respectable result, but in this category it cannot beat the autumn and
winter
> months (2,225 hours in October 2006).
>
> Winner of the "beauty contest" last month were the Perseid plots from
Biondani
> Roberto (http://www.imonet.org/reports/20070801.gif) and Bob Lunsford
> (http://www.imonet.org/reports/20070802.gif). Both aimed their cameras
almost
> directly at the radiant. Bobs camera had a smaller field of view, which is
why
> his meteors were recorded closer to the radiant than Biondanis.
>
> However, not just the Perseids had drawn an interesting picture: Ilkka
Yrjola
> noted that the kappa-Cynids were remarkably active even at the end of
their
> nominal activity period (August 25). So I artificially increased the
activity
> period and recomputed the meteor shower assignment for all cameras. The
result
> is given at http://www.imonet.org/reports/20070803.gif
> This year, the kappa-Cygnids were indeed active well beyond August 25.
> Unfortunately, data is scarse at the end of August, but it seems they
could
> easily keep up with the alpha-Aurigids at that time.

> Last but not least I would like to point out, that detailed information
about
