Last night (Wednesday) was such a beautiful evening that I was almost sorry that I had promised to take the family to a movie. From the local drive-in I saw three Perseids and one sporadic during the course of the two-hour movie. The screen’s orientation from the car was due west, and all three Perseids appeared toward the southwest. Two were about 40 degrees altitude; the other was perhaps 70 degrees altitude. This third Perseid was very bright, I’d say brighter than first magnitude, and all three appeared greenish. Hoping that the weather holds for the weekend… Kim No virus found in this outgoing message.
