I was out for 4 hours this morning. Cirrus interfered during the first hour
but it was mostly clear thereafter. The sky was good enough to show the
Milky Way from the southwestern horizon right up to Perseus. There was an
enhancement of the Perseid rates between 0800 and 0830 when the 1610 trail
was predicted to encounter the Earth. It was not much but rates dropped off
noticeably after 0830.
Exact rates will be posted after I get some sleep.
