(meteorobs) Delta Aurigids

[Koen Miskotte]

Hello meteor observers,
Anyone out last night? Last night I could observe between 23:05 and 02:32
UT. In teff 3,36 hour I counted 63 meteors amongst them 2 ORI, 2 STA, 1 NTA,
0 GIA and surprisingly 8 DAU's. Counts of this stream up to 2/3 an hour! Zee
the report below.  I read in IMO's visual handbook that DAU activity ceased
around 10 october. During this night I had a Canon 10D with a Zenitar 2.8/16
mm lens in the field en this camera captured four meteors of which three
were DAU's!
In the coming week I will submit these pictures on my hompage.
Clear sky's!
Koen
