Last night/this morning while satellite observing I coincidentally
saw four Perseids plus two or three sporadics.  The last Perseid,
at about 6:06:30 (not long before clouds arrived), appeared in and
exited from the Summer Triangle (Vega, Altair, Deneb) and was 
quite a bit brighter than Vega, so probably nearly -1 magnitude.
Maybe this is a bit of an "omen" of a good year for Perseids.
