RE: (meteorobs) Aug 9/10 summary
With all the meteor watching and the problems I have encountered along the
way, this week provided the ultimate. Camera flash bulb experiences from
lighting off shore (we had clear skys with a few high clouds). The lighting
show would have been beautiful if not for the timing. The lighting at times
became bright enough to cause the streetlights across the way to go off.
Reflective high clouds to the west did not help. So I can not add anything
to the count. I did manage to catch a few glimpses but they were just
enjoyment. The final blow to my meteor watching came this morning as I left
for work and was presented a large fireball out across the ocean horizon.
Talk about a kick in the pants.

Despite all the trials and tribulations, I managed a little more than 6.70
hours of observing this morning. Wayne Hally and I communicated several
times during the day about a front that was rolling in on both of us. Here,
it was supposed to reach the coast and become a stationary front, but
actually broke up, provide clear skies the entire night.
Around local midnight some "neighbor" in the wildlife refuge decided to use
a spotlight, shine it up in the NE sky, and play tag with the Perseid
radiant. After about 30 minutes of this, I guess they lost interest, or
finished what they were doing, because the laser show never reappeared.
Next, some species of insect decided to use my shirt as a temporary resting
place. Not knowing if the critter was friendly or not, I swatted him off.
For my efforts, he left me some smell that would peel paint off the wall,
and actually, began making me sick. This required a retreat indoors for a
new shirt, and of course, something I rarely do while observing, a logged
break. [Bob, I know what you're thinking, but this was not one of the
famous
Zay stink bugs...but some related cousin(?)... :>]
After my break, being all renewed for several more hours, I logged the
following raw data:
UT Time SDA CAP NDA PER KCG SPO Total
0200-0900 9 2 2 23 1 48 85
During the period before local midnight, activity was extremely slow. Then
from the period 0038 to 0107 local time, I logged 15 meteors from all
sources. At a rate of nearly 2 per minute, I was looking forward to the
remainder of the night being busy, but the rates soon dipped back down
closer to normal.
Clear skies all,
Mark Davis
