I observed on the morning of August 10. Perseids were fairly sparse, with 27 
in 1.75 hours. Skies were initially affected by the setting moon but soon 
darkened up very well. Nothing really spectacular, but a nice morning under 
the stars. Before I went out, I could hear coyotes howling from somewhere 
nearby.
