I am planning to spend the night of the 11'th observing the Persieds. I
would be interested in hearing from any others to also observe them.
Particularly I would be interested in (1) your long and lat (2) the
times of observation (ut hopefully), and (3) the approximate zenithal
hourly rate.  (About how many meteors per hour did you see.)
     
By the way I had read a number of years ago that the comet thought to
be associated with the Perseids was soon to return.  What happened?  Is
its orbit that uncertain?
