(meteorobs) Possible Kappa Cygnid outburst

[jarnac]

Dear friends,

I know that it is way early for the maximum of the Kappa Cygnids (end 
of the month), but on the evening of July 16/17 threre appeared to be 
unusually intense activity.  From our Adirondack astronomy 
Retreat  Ed Gordon counted more than thirty meteors, mostly Kappa 
Cygnids, over a one to two hour time span.  I was not observing 
meteors at the timew but I noticed at least five meteors during the 
night, of which one wss a bright Kappa Cygnid.
