Because of their selectivity, double-station video observations provide an excellent means to distinguish between sporadic background and shower activity. Eight hours of observations around solar longitude lambda=144 degrees (August 16) confirm the clear presence of the kappa-Cygnid and Perseid showers and the weak presence of the Capricornid, Southern and Northern delta-Aquarid showers. The results on the activity of the Northern iota-Aquarid shower are inconclusive. Three possible showers were detected at alpha=1 degree, delta=-17 degrees, Vg=44 km/s (Aquarid Complex), alpha=46 degrees, delta=+45 degrees, Vg=64 km/s (Aurigid Complex), and alpha=274 degrees, delta=-09 degrees, Vg=8 km/s (eq. 2000.0). The world total of high-precision kappa-Cygnid orbits was increased from 9 to 14 orbits.
