(meteorobs) Meteor Observations East GA 05 - 27/28 - 2005

[Kim Youmans]

I observed for two hours before moonrise last night.  Activity was a bit 
higher than I'd anticipated for the early part of the night -- the 
Sagittarid/Antehelion radiant was quite active with five members seen in two 
hours.  Two Omega Scorpids (OSC) were logged, along with 11 sporadics. 
Skies were clear despite a thin layer of clouds earlier in the afternoon.
