(meteorobs) Bright Taurids

[Koen Miskotte]

Finaly I have on my website ( http://home.planet.nl/~misko002/ ) two 
pictures added with bright Taurids (magn. -2 and 0) , taken with a Canon 10D 
and a Canon EF 2.8/15 mm fish eye lens.
Bright Meteors!

>> 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!!
