(meteorobs) obs. LANMA 11-12 Aug 2004

[Marco Langbroek]

Hello,

A quick outline of last night's observations. We were affraid to loose this
night, as a front had just passed and a second one was homing in. To our
surprise, we could observe for several hours: sometimes small cirrus fields
dissolving over our heads would pass by but inbetween those it was very
clear, I counted an Lm of +6.8 on several occasions.

I did not consciously experience any peak around 21h UTC, but then we still
had twilight. What we did note however, was that between 22h - 00h UTC there
was a peculiar number of bright meteors in the 0 to -3 range, much more than
I am used to for a nigh 11-12. Very odd.
