(meteorobs) Observation November 4/5, 2005 from Slovenia

[Javor Kac]

Hi All,

Yesterday afternoon the sky cleared nicely so I decided to observe 
close to home. Unfortunately I could only observe for two hours 
before the fog became too thick.
I recorded 20 meteors, 11 of them were the Taurids. A late Orionid 
was also spotted.
The highlight was definitely a magnitude -8 fireball. I did not see it 
well as it appeared just at the edge of my FOV, only 15 degrees 
above SE horizon. Other memorable meteors were a green 
magnitude -1 NTA that shot through Cassiopeia/Cepheus, a fast 
greenish magnitude -1 sporadic in Cetus and a slow orange 
fragmenting magnitude 2 meteor trat traveled from Andromeda to 
Lynx.

Clear skies!
Javor
