Scientific paper

We present the analysis of the 1999 Perseid shower based on 6731 meteors seen during 988 hours of effective time by 29 members of the Comets and Meteors Workshop. A clear maximum of activity was observers on August 12 at 23h UT (lambda=139.80) with ZHR=115+-18. Both activity and the time are in agreement with predictions for the new peak of Perseid activity caused by fresh material ejected from the Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. The traditional maximum expected around lambda=140.0 occurred during the daytime in Poland and was not observed. We detect two distinct minima of the population index, the first one at lambda=134-135 with r around 1.95, and the second one at the activity maximum with r around 2.0.
