I was able to get another 1.5 hours of meteor observing in before clouds
moved in to end the show. This time I concentrated on looking for the
meteors from the Kappa Cygni region reported by David Levy and Ed
Guenther. I did see a total of 4 meteors in less than an hour (4:15-5:08 UT)
from an area just a few degrees north of Kappa Cygni. Their average magn.
was 3.0. If a real radiant, these probably were not Kappa Cygnids as that
maximum is a month away. Also, as the sporadic rate was high the first hour,
they were possibly only chance alignments. But I think that video and radar
observers should look closer at this. The Perseid rate and brightness was
better than for the previous two nights, The best meteor was a 0 magnitude
Perseid with a 4 second train.
