With 70% clouds, and Sun at -15 already, I was able to get two points on USA 161, instead of photographing Perseids. I saw one left of Perseus, horizontal track near solar midnight, visible by indirect lighting, and found a persistent trail when turning my head - the trail was still brighter than a zero mag star on each retinal "pixel".. But I guess there is a shower with slower meteors, that can be mistaken for Perseids in July. 26934 01 044A 5919 F 20040811224747960 17 25 2137920+620492 38 I+010 05 26934 01 044A 5919 F 20040811224718920 17 25 2203559+444339 28 I-010 10 What these numbers mean: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2576 N, 18.6172 E, 23 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
