Target Perseid Meteor Shower Peak Constellation Category Meteors Time yyyymmdd.hhmm 20070812.2100 EDT Comments I spent seven hours out overninight tonight gathering data sufficient to calculate a ZHR in 15 minute increments, to wit, cloud cover, limiting magnitude, radiant altitude, meteors. Unfortunately I was not able to see any meteors even though this was the peak of the shower. Clouds varied from Clear through Overcast during the period and even during an individual 15-minute data redording interval. I was looking to the SSE which gave me the best view of the sky from a bench under overhanging trees and above the surrounding apartment buildings.
