My greetings.
An observation on May 22. After a cold front passing and strong wind
the sky had perfectly cleared. Its transparency was very good for
Novosibirsk with lm=5.8 m.
However, meteor activity was surprisingle low. During almost 2 hours I
saw only 3 meteors. The most spectacular was the first one. It had
medium velosity, was visible for 2 seconds
but its brightness was not very great about 1.5 m. The rest two
meteors turned to be even more dim and short.
