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.
