(meteorobs) Perseids from Oregon, Aug. 12/13
I got 3 hours observing in on what I hoped would be the
best night to observe the Perseids. It was, and again,
although rates were a little lower than I hoped for, they
seemed consistent with 1998 postmax. Skies were a little
better, with still some smoke and a bit of low-level auroral
activity around 8:15UT (1:15am PDT).
Several nice fireballs, including a yellow -5 and a violet
-3 near the radiant. Also an intensely orange mag. 0 Kappa
Cygnid.
