Sorry, I must have missed your earlier posts about the XPRs, George? I did what 
I THOUGHT was an extensive search of the literature for likely radiants to watch 
for, but never saw any mention of this shower. Definitely saw a couple of KCGs 
per hour on Aug 11/12, as well as a couple of (very late!) PAUs on the night of 
Aug 10/11, but I guess I'll never know if I saw any XPRs now... :(

Clear skies,
Lew
