REMARKS:
-increasing Perseid activity. Also spectacular meteors ! Most notably
was a -2 Perseid at 22.07 UT nearby the radiant with only a 5° long trail
and a 2 seconds blue persistent train.
-Apex radiants were not very active this night.
-I observed no members of the Kappa Cygnids or Capricornids
meteor streams.
Long trains and up to the Perseid maximum !!
