Joining John Chumack via his Northeast Sky Camera #2 in his backyard Observatory in Dayton, Ohio USA. This 5 hour movie was compressed to 10 seconds for web viewing. Says John, "The brightest one occurred when the radiant was low on the horizon around 1:27am this fireball was at around -8 magnitude or greater, even with all the strong moonlight, some of the meteors are very bright! this one had a double explosion too!" Astronomers are now estimating a double peak this year on the Tuesday night the 11th to Wednesday morning the 12th of August 2009. One peak should occur around 1:00am EST and the other peak around 5:30am EST., but be sure to watch all night long, as they do not stop coming for several days after estimated peaks. Good luck and clear skies!!
