I will certainly have a look at this shower, as Perseus does make it up over our horizon. Best viewing is the 12th and 13th August fron about 3.30 to 5.30am. (per Ian Musgraves monthly page http://home.mira.net/~reynella/skywatch/ssky.htm )
Seems its source, Comet Swift-tuttle is a long way from Earth, so shouldnt be a large amount of meteors.
