A break in the monsoons allowed some observing on 8/11/07, which included a good Perseid display. The two Perseid streaks I caught were the culmination of about 2 hrs of 30 second exposures. The key to seeing a good meteor show is to see where my camera is pointed and look in the opposite direction.
