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

2004-08-12 Thread dfpens
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

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

2004-08-12 Thread Robert Woolard
Hello List,

   Pretty nice show here tonight. Had been cloudy and
raining off and on most of the day and into the early
night, but by ~ 2:30 AM, the skies opened up. I saw
several really nice ones with persistent trains. One
in particular was great. It went just about entirely
across the sky, almost fading out once and then
flaring back up at the end. I saw two at a time a
couple of times. Then the clouds/fog started rolling
back in and closed down the show. I estimate there
were a little more than 60/hour during the hour and a
half or so that I watched.

   How was it for some of the rest of you?

   Best regards,
   Robert Woolard
