Report from Pickett Post Trail Head Counted 92 from 1200 to 0300 Joe Goss -----Original Message----- From: stevecoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 12, 2013 03:02 To: SMTP Subject: [AZ-Observing] Perseid report Howdy all; My meteor shower report is from 1:30 to 2:30 AM MST. I am located at the Happy Jack RV park about 40 miles from Flagstaff, Az. We had a short drizzle around 11 PM, but I did get some observing in before the clouds covered the sky. I counted 23 meteors, 18 of them were the usual Perseids, short and about +2 magnitude. 3 were nice fireballs, 2 about -3 magnitude. One was a really bright fireball, about -6 magnitude, it when from near the star Hamal in Aries all the way to near Fomalhaut in Pisces Austrinus. Two others were sporatic background meteors. I have seen the Perseids both better and worse over the years, the one real bright one made it all worthwhile. They do light up everything around for a second or two. All in all a fun display; Steve Coe -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
