Scientific paper

Details of observations collected by the SPA Meteor Section during the Perseid shower in 2002 August are presented, with some discussion. A relatively flat maximum was found on August 12/13 in the visual results, with a somewhat stronger mean ZHR = 74+-7 found between 22-04 h UT, perhaps implying a peak at 01+-3 h UT (lambda (eq. 2000.0)=140.101+-0.12 deg). Unfortunately the radio reports were affected by a series of atmospheric problems and equipment failures near the Perseids' best but, in general, they support a lower and longer Perseid peak than has been seen for some time. Some notes based on comments by observers are given too.
