    Meteors were quieter last night. It didn't help that we fell asleep… not sure at what time. Sometime around 2:00AM I think. I woke up around 4:00AM and started watching again. Only counted 32. One early on was particularly significant. It was profoundly yellow/orange. Very cool, not a Perseid.

    Lots of not Perseids last night.

    It was pretty cool to wake up and see Cassiopiea directly overhead. The sky looked so different. I saw a very bright satellite pass overhead and cut diagonally through the great square of pegasus. I just look it up and it was COSMOS 1220 at magnitude -0.4. It started to get foggy by 5:00.

    Kirk said, there's a lot of mornings I wake up in a fog, but this morning I really did wake up in a fog 🙂
