(meteorobs) about the Draconid outburst...

[Mikhail Maslov]

Hello, Michel and all,

To observe this outburst you needed:
1) Some observers noticed it at the beginning phase and instead of
continuing observations connected to the Internet to send a notifying
message.
2) You read this message very soon after its sending.
3) You "crashed by car as fast as possible" to find a suitable place
for observation.
I think its too much for 3-4 hours, during which the outburst was
going on.

I also hope for some Taurid fireballs show this year.

Best regards, Mikhail Maslov



MV> Hi all,

MV> Yesterday evening I saw the IMO circular about the 2005 Draconid outburst. I was completely surprised about that ! 
MV> How is it possible that no one,  visual or radio observers, did report as fast as possible this enhanced Draconid activity ? We all knew that the Draconids were able to produce some extra
MV> activity this year..
MV> Sadly, I stayed that evening at home. There were to many clouds and fog in Western Belgium. I checked my mails after work and found nothing about possible  enhanced Draconid activity. But if I
MV> was informed about the enhancement in time ; I would have crashed by car as fast as possible into better conditions to observe some Draconids. We do live in 2005 with internet, email  and all
MV> that stuff...? 

MV> Long trains and up to the Taurid fireball nights ! 

MV> Michel
