             PERSEIDS 1997 -- Second Information

After the first circular a rush of observations coming in has
made it worthwhile to give another overview of the 1997 Perseid
maximum activity. We are very grateful to all the 95 observers
from 18 countries who sent in their observations so quickly.

The first Perseid peak is distinct with a maximum ZHR of about 150
at a solar longitude of 139.71 to 139.72 degrees. The peak is skew
with a steeper increase than decrease.

The traditional Perseid maximum is still not represented in this
graph; Japanese observers reported highest rates at 14h UT on August 12,
corresponding to a solar longitude of 139.93 degrees.

Regarding the traditional maximum, E.P. Bus (Netherlands) reported=0D
