(meteorobs) Perseids George Observatory Texas

[Barbara Wilson]

Just a quick report, so far very poor showing prior to midnight.
4 Perseids down the backbone of the Milky Way, 2 at -2 magnitude
1 @ -3 magnitude.  

Moonrise was around 11:40 and high cirrus is masking any fainter meteors. In the last hour  1- 2 am CDT 4 Perseids very faint and quick.

Hard to estimate magnitude due to moonlight and cirrus. 

Hope things pick up.  About 600 people showed up on our observing deck.
Most left at moonrise.
