[Chaos-l] [Medoc-mountain-men] csc looking GOOD

[Jayme Hanzak]

I got out at about 2am to see what I could. There were a couple of nice
streaks, but I didn't really catch to many.
I set up a camera with it's gain cranked to the hilt and a small video
recorder. So far all I've seen were a couple of faint Perseids. I'll be
going through the files tonight and if it's clear, try again.
