  I got up to look for possible Xi Perseids this morning and saw only one for
sure. As I mentioned, I was clouded out last year, but two years ago saw eight
in less than two hours (six in 44 minutes). Did anyone else see any? Anyway, I
got clouded out after 07:45 UT, but managed to get a good hour in. Below is my
data in condensed form. A comprehensive report will be sent to the ALPO Meteors
Section. Two regular Perseids, one Aquarid, and four sporadics were also seen.
