I just got back home from west of lake pleasant. from 12:30 til 4:45 I counted
245! some were Very bright with long lasting trails. Some were so faint I
could barely see them. The peak time was 3:30 to 4:00. I'll check my photos
and pray for nice ones. If I have good ones, I'll show them on Friday.

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
