(meteorobs) August 8 (UT) meteors from S. Maryland

[Richard Taibi]

The Earth must have been travelling through small meteoroid particles during my session.  I saw fainter meteors than I did on 4 August and even more dismaying was the fact that no Perseid brighter than +1 made an appearance!  Well, "run of the mill" ordinary meteors are data too...
