After a couple nights of rain and clouds, it has cleared out again in Tucson. Last night was probably a nice night of meteors but I forgot to turn my cameras on.
Luckily Bob has better luck and a better memory in SDG. From Bob’s notes: “After a couple of partly cloudy nights, skies cleared enough to allow observations from home. Fog rolled in just before the start of twilight, ending the session 15 minutes prematurely. No Delta Aquarids were recorded tonight, which is strange as this shower continues for at least another week.”
