Here are my results from Monday morning:

06:00-07:00 UT   6.34   2 CAP   3 KCG   13 PER   4 SPO

07:00-08:00 UT   6.43   17 PER   8 SPO

08:00-09:00 UT   6.44   1 CAP   1 KCG   3 NDA   
                        33 PER   2 SDA   11 SPO

09:00-10:00 UT   6.45   1 NDA   43 PER   2 SDA   23 SPO

10:00-11:00 UT   6.55   1 CAP   49 PER   1 SDA   8 SPO

11:00-12:00 UT   6.48   53 PER   13 SPO


This is the worst dark sky showing of the Perseids that I can recall.
What has happened to the good old days when my rates routinely hit 100+
per hour for this shower? 

On the plus side this had to be the brightest showing for the Perseids
as 32 of the 208 meteors were of negative magnitudes. -6 was the
brightest seen by me this morning.
