Me too ! Always afraid of missing something while writing ! But when you're
plotting, you haven't the choice, unfortunately... That's why major showers are
great : you just have to count, not to plot !
I wanted also to notice that activity of Perseid seen from France seems to have
been quite normal : ZHR of 80-85 during the night of the max ( 12-13, from 21 h
45 to 2 h 45 ), and after : ZHR of 35 during the night of 13-14 from 21 h 10 to
23 h 40.
Clear skies !
