Activity was quite good
- total 26 meteors, though only 3 of them were Perseids

- I was much surprised with activity of α-Cygnids (maximum on 15.07, ?)...
- Perseids are currently faint, slow and not any intensive.
- 01:11:25 - unusually long (>95°) and long duration (5.0...6.0s) meteor with faint trail. +4m (!). (PAU)
- 02:00:46 - very beautiful one - very bright (-3m), whitish-blue, with two consequtive flares. Length ~40°, duration 1,4...1,5s. (SDA)
- Does anybody knows something about β-Cassiopeids and γ-Draconids? I know almost nothing about their activity, but my software tells they're active (maximum on 29.07 and 27.07 respectively). Those 2 meteors might be sporadics if these showers aren't active.
P.S. I also look forward with A BIG HOPE to the maximum of Perseids this year.
