(meteorobs) Bootid obs, Sharon Massachusetts, June 24/25

[Richard Kramer]

Breezy, hazy, and rather quiet tonight. The air felt very heavy with 
humidity. The fireflies stayed home. The haze on the horizon was sufficient 
to obscure Sagittarius almost completely.

40 minutes on the clock yielded 4 sporadics, all fast, 3 traversing more 
than 30 degrees each, one white, one blue, one orange, and one too dim to 
have a color. No Bootids. :(
