August 14 Meteors

The peak may be passed but the Perseids were still producing healthy numbers on the night of the 14th. Since this night was the clearest of the past few, my system actually detected more meteors tonight than the two nights bracketing the peak. Activity should continue to rapidly ramp down as we move away from the peak. Perseids are well known for their activity to ramp down much more rapidly than it ramps up.
