(meteorobs) JBO *active* June 22/23!!! Ottawa, Ontario

[Pierre Martin]

Hi,

I just arrived home from a wonderful night.  I was blessed with great 
transparency and LM=6.6 skies all night.

I haven't decoded the tape yet, but a quick summary...

The June Bootids have returned!!  I plotted everything.  In about 4 
hours TEFF (between about 2:30-7:30 UT), over 45 June Bootids!!!  What 
a thrill to see all these slow moving meteors.  Many were faint, but 
several nice bright ones as well.  A few fireballs of -3 with thick 
wakes.  One almost stationary meteor in northern Bootes.  Fairly steady 
activity all night, but seemed to be tapering out near dawn (probably 
due to lower radiant, I assume).  Radiant area was diffuse and 
definitely seemed shifted a bit to zenith.

Hope more have seen the June Bootids enhancements!!!

Complete report will follow...
