Hi Guys

Just thought I would share my observations from latitude -26° for night of
Aug 11/12.

Teff = 3.5 hours, start Aug 11 at 22h30UT, end Aug 12 at 02h23UT.
Mean LM =5.6
Aquarids of various descriptions = 17
PERSEIDS = 5
beta Cetids = 4
Pisc.Australids = 2
alpha Caps = 0
Sporadics = 25

First Perseid at 01h13UT and last at 01h45UT.  None outside this window.
Magnitudes 2;2;3.5;2;4
Mean path length 90°, and mean duration 1.5-2.0 seconds !!

Can anyone tell me if there was an outburst seen in the NH centered at about
01h30UT?

Best Wishes
Tim
