These are my observations on the
Perseids!
Unfortunately, they are not as many and as
long as i wanted so..But it was an interesting display on the nights of 12-13
and 13-14 (lm=6,2) as i was away from Athens, from where i was not able to enjoy
the shower (as you can see from my reports on 10-11 and 11-12).
I hope to make some more now that
Perseids are in decline.
Best wishes,
Grigoris
