Thank you Richard for the information about peak ZHR for the various
streams. The challenge this year is that the peak will take place in
the glare of a waning gibbous moon.

No it is tonight.

We should pass though the 1610 stream around 9UT, but there may be
another, smaller peak around 5UT and the "standard peak" should be
around 18UT.
All of them tonight.

So you are among the lucky ones! No Perseids here so
far :-(
It is cloudy but I caught a hole in the clouds and was
able to
see the Summer Triangle, Hercules (Keystone), the Big
Dipper,
and, of course the last quarter Moon, ... but no
Perseids :-(
Guess it's not too much firework so far
A possible surge in activity is expected for 08-09 hrs
UT, which
translates
into 10-11 hrs MESZ, so, no big deal tonight / tmorrow
morning for us here
in Europe.
Best from cloudy
Southern Germany,
Bernd
