Remarks
-Fantastic
atmospherically conditions for observing. Seeing and transparency were
outrageous ! Lm 6.60 ; which is exceptional for my observing place. Still
an enjoyable Perseid activity. Bright sporadics ! The apex was quite active this
night.
-28
% of the Perseids left a persistent train.
-ZHR
in further decline.
Note ; I forget to write down the -5 Sporadic in the item
"magnitude distributions" (15-16/8)
