            Screech Owl Hill Observatory,  Mountain Meadows  
                     Mathias, West Virginia - July 11, 2016

We had excellent sky transparency again last night, except for some 
haze at the start of the first hour.  I recorded meteors from 4:10 UT to 
6:10 UT.  The  brightest meteor was a -1 magnitude sporadic seen at 
4:37 UT, but the prettiest meteor was a 1st magnitude PPS with a two 
second train and blue-green color seen at 5:33 UT.  As usual the Milky 
Way star clouds and dark nebulae were awesome. Screech Owls and 
Barred Owls were heard in the distance along with a close whippoorwill,
and the Tree Frogs and Field Crickets provided the background music 
melody for meteor observing.
