Hi Wayne and all,

Sounds like a nice one!

A comment on astronomy and observing. As much as I like a good beer, we had a eye doctor comment at an astronomy convention (in a talk) about observing medically speaking. He suggested that beer and other drinks tend to make your eyes less sensitive while observing. A candy bar was useful in making your eyes more sensitive to faint objects.

Since meteors vary in intensity, serious observers need to dark adapt for observing and avoid those things that might hurt recording meteor fall numbers.
Something to contemplate while sipping your beer.

Not that it would keep me from indulging while watching the shower. Best!

8:45 MST time approx. A real beauty east of Prescott AZ traveling north to south along the horizon for at least 2 seconds +. Large flash and a trail. What a beaut. Almost dropped my beer. This was in the city lights from our home on the couch.
