>AB:  The visual observations of 1996 Perseids are reported. Based on over
>700 hours of observing time an activity profile from July 15 to August 24
>is given. The discovery of a small dip in the activity profile near solar
>longitude lambda. approximate to 129 degrees (2000.0) is also presented.
>The maximal Zenithal Hourly Rates (ZHRs) equal to 162 +/- 26 were noted on
>August 12.026 (lambda. = 139.64 degrees). The possibility of the presence
>of a double peak with maximal values of ZHR at lambda. = 139.64 degrees and
>lambda. = 139.66 degrees is also discussed. The minimum of a population
>index r were observed around the night of the maximum.
