The Perseids from Pittsburgh, PA was a bust.

Partial clouds around 10:30 pm. Saw a fairly bright one at 10:50 pm, which may have been a sporadic as it went north to south. Clouds began to get heavier and by 2 am it was completely clouded over. I quit when I began to feel the raindrops.

That one coupled with the one I saw on Tuesday night brings my total Perseids count for 2004 to 2 !! I guess my ZHR is not very high.

Regards,

Dave
