Details:
Tucson was close to the optimum location, the Tau Herculids were present as predicted. I counted nine in the hour or so of predicted maximum and might have missed some looking another direction while rotating on a stool to search. My cameras captured some including the best one I saw, a bright meteor just before 10 pm PDT shown in the image. The color in this meteor is interesting, different from some other major showers. The brightest one appeared to be about 0 magnitude about the same as Arcturus in frame for scale,
