(meteorobs) Perseids were real meager



Starting observing in the clouds at 3:30 am here in Olathe, KS.
Stopped arooudn 5:16

Saw only 3 sporadics and 9 Perseids. Many were near 0 magnitude and a couple 
left trains but it was a pretty poor showing. It's not near the maximum yet 
(some controversey which morning it will be 12 or 13th - which is it) but 
still I should have seen more.

Weather was great comfortable. Clouds and storms might move  tonight and 
monday morning but I hope that changes.

Better luck tonight?
