My observations that night (about two hours Teff, 0530-0730 UT) also
agree closely with those of Pierre, Wes and others: namely, moderate
and interesting activity from the SDAs (notwithstanding that I have
to observe them from a relatively northerly site in S. Rhode Island
USA), but of fainter avg. mag. than the Sporadics (of all classes).
Also I had a somewhat surprising number of Alpha Cygnid candidates:
four or possibly five within two hours Teff, if I recall.
I have data from two previous Fridays (20/21 and 27/28 Jul) which I
will try to transcribe and summarize this week. Clear skies all!
