Two notes to share. I have a real problem with the LM for this night. I
seemed a lot darker than my LM's are showing, I wait for Wayne H's report to
see if my "rookie-ness" is at fault or if it's just not as dark as I think it
is...

I'm confused about a PER at 0759 UT. It was very close to the radiant so it
was very short (less than 1 deg.).- my problem is that it was curly-Q shaped
(?)  recorded it as -4 mag. w/ a vel. of 4.   I know they are supposed to be
in straight lines but this one seem to "spin out". It was independently
verified by Wayne when we both said at the same time "what the hell was
that!!".  We we sitting a short distance apart. It was so odd that I drew it
at the bottom of my sheet.
Is it possible that it was a sizable piece that split and one part spun off??
Really wierd.

Kevin
