Remarks
-no fireballs were observed .Several bright and beautiful Perseids !
Highest minute count : 3 Perseids.
- no point meteors this night.
-62.5 % left a persistent train.

my observing place ; LM 6.50 for almost the whole night. Twilight was
quite impressive ! Finally High pressure and summer above Western
Europe.

Clear skies,
