Corrected date:

I went out 24/25 June (Tuesday/Wednesday) for three hours.  When I arrived at my usual observing site, there was quite a bit of cirrus, so I waited a half hour to begin observing.  I saw two JBO's in three hours.  I saw only two meteors during the first hour.  From the weather forecasts it seems unlikely that it will be clear any nights nearer the JBO peak night.
