I was out for 4 hours this morning. Activity was not bad as I logged 40
meteors with a TeFF of 3.70 (plotting). Several meteors lined up with
the June Lyrid radiant with the correct velocity but all but one proved
to be Sagittarids. One nebulous meteor was seen (faint & fast). I faced
due north at a elevation of 60 degrees. The crescent moon was a factor
only during the last hour. Only 2 satellites were seen, much less than
usual.

07:30-08:30 UT   0.94   6.45   1 JLY   1 SAG   6 SPO
08:30-09:30 UT   0.92   6.35   2 SAG   8 SPO
09:30-10:30 UT   0.91   6.29   4 SAG   9 SPO
10:30-11:30 UT   0.93   6.14   1 SAG   9 SPO

Nothing was brighter than -1

I was alone this morning, George is scheduled to join me tonight for
another session.
I will also be out on the mornings of the 13th and 14th.

Clear Skies!
