(meteorobs) Meteor Report: Aug 29/30, 2008 (DAVMA)

[meteors at comcast.net]

I was able to observe for 2 hours under average August skies to see what
activity may take place from the Alpha Aurigids. In the end, I was
pleasantly surprised at the numbers of both Aurigids and sporadics I
recorded each hour. The highlight of the morning was a nice -4 magnitude
sporadic dropping toward he SSE horizon. Below is my report:
