Subject:  (meteorobs) Good perseid night from France !


Hello !

A good first Perseid night !
There was a few earthgrazers in the early hours of the night (around 20:30
to 21:00 UT). One was mag -2 -3 and go trought the sky from Cassiopee to
Serpent for more than 90 degree long ; the sky was still a deep blue, not
totally dark. In fact, it was the most impressive for this night.
And then it seems the show was a little more active than expected, but I
begin counting from 22:00 UT to 0:30 UT.

PS : just a quick question : is it needed to send this report to IMO by
separate mail ?

Good luck and clear sky !
Christophe
