Default Colorado Perseids

Not great weather this year; the monsoons aren't dropping enough water
to make much of a dent in our drought, but the're leaving enough
clouds around in the evening to interfere a bit with meteor observing.

Last night I caught 123 Perseids (out of 144 meteors total) on the
allksy camera. Since 1 August I've caught 318 of them. Images and some
video are posted at http://www.cloudbait.com/science/perseid2012.html

Well done, Chris. I didn't see a lot of Perseids this morning but the ones
I did see were spectacular.
