(meteorobs) Perseids report from Hawaii (Aug 11)
I was up at Hale Pohaku visitor center for various observations, and I did a half hour of early Perseids observing. Sky conditions were excellent. Many faint sporadics were seen and the Perseids seemed to be doing as expected a night and half before the peak. But, only one bright PER, a mag. 0 slicing south thru Cetus and leaving a nice persistent train for a few seconds.
An added bonus was watching the eerie glow of the Kilauea volcano in the distance.
ALoha,
