[meteorite-list] Perseids 2004 from L.R.

[dfpens at comcast.net]

The Perseids from Pittsburgh, PA was a bust.

Partial clouds around 10:30 pm.  Saw a fairly bright one at 10:50 pm, which may have been a sporadic as it went north to south.  Clouds began to get heavier and by 2 am it was completely clouded over.  I quit when I began to feel the raindrops.

That one coupled with the one I saw on Tuesday night brings my total Perseids count for 2004  to 2 !!  I guess my ZHR is not very high.

Regards,

Dave
