Comments:  Was not looking for a "shower" I was more interetsed in
                   observing an increase from my 9/10 observing session
                   on which I had better skies * mag 6  but did not note a
                   jump in activity.
                  Quit at 5:35 UT, went out at 9:00ut till 9:10Ut to see if if I
                  missed anything, and apparently I did not.
                  Some high points were 2 of the 3 sporadics traveled
                  paralell to the horizon,  3 of the perseids had trains, and
                  I may have caught 3 perseids on the same 10min exposure
                  of film. 5:09UT- 5:10 UT   One final comment, when things
                  did pick up, all of the Perseids traveled same direction,
                  vs a radiant traveling out in all directions.
                  Will get some sleep, and try again tonight.
