(meteorobs) Observation August 14/15 from Slovenia



Hi!

As the sky was still devoid of clouds, I decided to observe again. 
Myself and a new observer observed from his home which has 
reasonably dark skies.
In 2.6 hours teff I logged 63 meteors, 35 of them being Perseids. In 
the whole session there was no meteor brighter than magnitude 0. I 
hoped for a tronger activity from Kappa Cygnids but they appeared 
with only 3 members.
Notable meteors of the night include a +1 PER that shot through 
Hercules for his 30 deg path, a KCG, PER and sporadic all 
appearing in 3 seconds and a nice short KCG near its radiant.
If weather permits, I will also observe on August 16/17 to see some 
more from the Kappa Cygnids.

Clear skies!
