The Mt. Lemmon team is now off-line and no longer observing.  It was a nice
show tonight -- not as good as last year -- but still very nice.

Primary peak:  about ZNR = 700 m/hr at 10:54-56 UTC
Secondary peak:  about ZHR = 260 m/hr at 11:50 UTC

The shower was rich in faint meteors this year, which means that the
numbers would probably have been a good bit higher without the
moonlight.  The 3.5 population index was calculated using my own worksheets
(3.5 +/- 0.5), based upon the observations of two individuals as we were
coming up on the US peak.
