We had a good clear night last Saturday/Sunday and did some observing.
We saw many deep sky objects, and comet Machholz Q2. I also got in two hours
of meteor observing, and saw some good Antihelion activity from the Virginid
complex. A radiant (CBE) at 180 deg.+20 (seen by me on April 5/6, 2003) was
suspected again based on three very slow meteors, which brings to 6 the meteors
seen from this possible radiant in three hours Teff. This location is about
halfway between the star Denebola and Coma Berenices. Below is a short list of
what meteors were observed.
