the Milky Way in Cepheus and Cygnus could be very well made out.
Observation started at 00:00 UT (02:00 am Malta Time), August 14th Very
slow bright Capricornids made the observers wooo and photographic station
jump with amazement and enthusiasm. Perseids were bright and surprisingly
PLENTY!!! Limiting Magnitude conditions were constant throughout the 120min.
session. The highest Meteor density observed was at 01:15 UT
