Except for Kurt’s response to my query about Delta Aquariids I haven’t seen anything today regarding the report I posted this morning. I’m wondering if anyone else made it to a dark site to do some serious observing of the Perseids. I’ve never reported my observations in any kind of a formal manner, partly because that would feel too much like work. I am curious, however, to know if my methods even approach those followed by those who do. I would welcome criticism or comments, if y’all have either. For example, I read other’s reports and wonder why I “bag” so many more meteors. Is my methodology flawed? I do really see the meteors themselves, so I just don’t know what I may be doing wrong – or right. I was planning to observe all nine planets (yes, I still think that there are nine) tonight, but I just couldn’t find Mercury in the murk above the horizon near Santaquin. Missed it last night, too. Has anyone else had difficulty locating it? If not, at what time were you first able to spot it? Kim
