(meteorobs) Observation 02 - 19/20 - 2005 East Georgia

[Kim Youmans]

Another late report from last month...Feb 19/20 2005 

I endured a setting, waxing gibbous moon during the first part 
of this session that evidently helped lower my rates for the first 
hour...with only three meteors seen, one a Theta Centaurid.  
Rates picked up again for the second hour, including 2 Delta 
Leonids, an antehelion meteor, and seven sporadics.
