(meteorobs) Observation August 16/17, 2004 from Slovenia

[Javor Kac]

The night started with a bang! Only 30 seconds after I signed in (at 
22:12:30 UT), a bright magnitude -6 sporadic meteor shot through 
Pegasus into Pisces. The meteor was also caught by our all-sky 
camera and I will post a link to the image when it is available next 
week.
No other bright meteors were seen until the morning but there was 
some nice meteor activity. Sixty meteors were seen in 3.4 hours 
Teff. The most active shower were still the Perseids (19 meteors), 
followed by Aquarids (6) and Kappa Cygnids (3 meteors).

Clear skies!
