(meteorobs) HALWA at NJAA Aug 3,2008

[meteoreye at comcast.net]

It finally cleared toward morning so I squeezed in an hour and a half, going almost to nautical twilight.
Location NJAA Observatory, High Bridge, NJ
All non Perseids plotted, using alignment cord. Plot times measured from audio tape.
No fireflies, season may be over, or maybe it was just to cool (~ 61F). Only 1 Katydid due to coolness.
Only 2 jets and 1 prop plane, no satellites(!). Good skies for August! (Sorry Mark :-> )
