REMARKS:
- The "Psi Cygnids" or "Alfa Cygnids" is definitely
an active minor shower. Produces a few members an hour.
- Early Perseids are detectable (on low level rates ; 1-2 members/hour)
even as the other typical summer showers : Aquarid complex, Capricornids.
- Sporadic Activity is increasing again.
-Nice observing conditions : Limited magnitude touched 6.40. Temperature :
12.9°C. Humidity : 90 %.
