(meteorobs) XBO Observation 02 - 4/5 - 2005 East Georgia

[Kim Youmans]

Here at last are my observations for the night of Feb 04/05, 
the morning prior to the tentaive XBO peak.  Unlike 2000 
when I saw saw several XBO's at approximately this same
solar longitude, this year I logged just one, which was plotted.
The highlight of the session was a white -3 that originated right at the
XBO radiant and raced between Leo and LMi towards Cancer, 
with a 30 degree path length.   LM's were somewhat restricted by 
high cirrus that moved through occasionally.
