Remarks
-no fireballs were observed. Bright flash in the east at 22.44
UT...Fireball ???
- again some point meteors.
-highest minute counting was 4 Perseids. Irregular appearance. Observed
also once a "Perseid Triplett".
- yellow was the most observed colour.
-55.2 % left a persistent train. One was visible for 10 seconds.
-Perfect skies for my observing place ; LM 6.50. Impressive milky way
visible from Taurus to Saggitarius.
- increasing activity from the Kappa Cygnids. Aquarids also still
active (SIA and NIA's).
Clear skies,
