(meteorobs) Casual Observation

Last night was one of the few nights the skies were clear along the coast 
this summer in Oceanside. I saw two slower + 3 meteors near the East 
limb of Cassiopia, toward M-34,  fall within 10 seconds of each other. The 
first appeared to be foreshortened and therefore close to the radiant and 
fell towards the north, the second was about three times longer and fell 
towards the south within a very short distance of the first meteor (maybe 
2 degrees). The only other meteor I saw in an hour, I use the binoculars 
much of the time, was a speedy +8 or +9  meteor heading north near 
Andromeda that I saw with binoculars.

     Last night was the first night I've been able to see Andromeda clearly 
with averted vision in about two years here at home 2 miles from the 
coast.
