Dear David,
I've observed last night (July 17-18) with Teff=1h and limmag getting better from 5.0 to 5.75 (relatively low due to constant astronomical twilight) throughout the observation. I've registered only five meteors, two of them were PER, one was CAP, and the other two were SPO. One of the SPO would match the theoretical radiant position of KCG, but I somehow doubt it, that these are real KCG, more evidence is necessary.
With best regards
Sergei Schmalz

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.
