Greetings again all,

It's a shame the clouds hindered this morning's watch so much, there was a
lot going on up there and not just from the PER radiant either!  Also,
while casually watching after the clouds set back in, I had a lovely golden
yellow -1 PER and a similarly colored +1 PER leave a three second train
hanging on the sky in between the clouds.  I guess that's sorta what you
may call making lemonade out of it...;o).

All prayers are said and fingers are crossed for clear skies tonight for
all of us!!

Happy hunting, Paul J in St. Augustine
