List,
Went out about 9 last night to watch the Perseids. Got to see some
fantastic orange colored very fast meteors go over. We only had a few
clouds but nothing to obscure viewing. Then came the moon. Once it
was almost south of us, that was it for the shower. I was all stoked
to go
saw some very nice ones from 3 miles offshore of lower keys. most looked 2 b
chondrites w/ a few cv3 thrown in fro extra lighting effects.
