(meteorobs) Observation December 11/12, 2004 from Slovenia

[Javor Kac]

I was able to observe again on Saturday night. My car went broken 
so I had to stay close to home. Luckily the low-lying clouds 
dissapeared during the day so I could observe anyway. The 
transparency was not too good, though.

I observed for three and a half hours and recorded 101 meteors. In 
the third and fourth period two participants of this year's 
Astronomical Camp joined me at the observations. A few minutes 
after 3 am local time, heavy fog formed that forced us to end the 
observations.
The meteor activity was good but all meteors were faint - none were 
brighter than magnitude 0. The dominant shower were the 
Geminids which produced 70 meteors. Other showers were active 
as well.

Clear skies!
