> Hello,
> Last night (27/28 oktober) I observed the Taurids and Orionids. Between 
> 23:12 and 2:25 UT I counted 70 meteors (lm 6.5, teff 3,15 hour) . Amongst 
> them a handfull of bright Taurids: 2x -2, 2x magnitude 0 and 2x +1. A 
> possible -3 Taurid was seen just above the southern horzon. But I saw also 
> bright sporadic meteor, a magnitude 0 and during last hour a -2 Leo 
> Minorid.
> This years show reminded me to the 1981 and 1988 returns: a little higher 
> activity with many bright ones. Hopefully we get some clear sky's in the 
> coming weeks so we could see if this activity of bright Taurids continue.
> Clear sky's!!
