What a difference a day makes!  I more than doubled my count from the
previous observing session. Once again the Early Perseids (ERP?) were
active producing 11 meteors in 4 hours. During the 2nd half of the
session George and I both noticed Perseid-like meteors radiating from
an area near Eta Persei (EPR?). There is a lot of weird stuff going on
up there!
