REMARKS:
-Very good observing conditions : LM 6.40 - 6.50 ~Very good transparency
! But after 01.40 UT ; fog covered the night sky
here in our region (Belgium).
-increasing Perseid activity. Hourly rates above 10 stream members in
one hour ; this translates in a ZHR of 17. Spectacular meteors ! Most
notably were two Perseid point meteors.
-Moderate sporadic rates this night ; except the first interval. Low apex
activity.
-I observed no members of the Kappa
Cygnids.
Long trains and up to the Perseid maximum !!
