(meteorobs) Perseids Aug.11/12 - not great for me

[Michael Boschat]

Morn:

My report below:

  Sad note... my 1980's Casio COSMO Phase watch broke!!!!!!!!  the   
strap  came off and it fell 5 stories to concrete and wiped out the   
LCD  display!  I had
never changed the battery either... the loss was great item :(


My meteor report.. kinda disappointed..not many bright ones... was  
damp out last night also...one only bright Perseid in Aquila I caught :(
Note the faint Scutum Star Cloud!

  Hear a few more by radio today so far...
