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 :-(

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,
