> We were out his morning setting up to watch the  Moon occultation of Aldebaran. Saw clearly what were two July Gamma Draconids but saw  what had to be a single Omicron Draconid up near the radiant. At least to us we could tell these meteors were coming from  two different radiant. 
> Omicron Draconid was white in color, around 1 second duration , a short trail ,would say moderate speed, around magnitude +2.5. 
> It may be just us but seemed or we sensed the Gamma Draconids look slightly yellow compared to Omicron Draconid  , speed seemed similar to Omicron Draconid we saw. Magnitude +1 and +3.
> Had a nice sprinkling of SDA, one nice long  0 magnitude SDA  that almost passed directly through our zenith. Did not note any Perseids but have heard the numbers are rising rapidly.
