(meteorobs) Observation July 22/23, 2006 from Slovenia

[Javor Kac]

Hi again,

the second evening of the Camp was cloudy with intense thunderstorms to
the west and north of our location. We photographed the lightnings from
the safe distance for a few hours. At about midnight the stars started
being visible through the clouds. When the sky became sufficiently clear I
started observing but was not dressed adequately with only one layer of
clothes. After an hour of observations I was freezing. I took a break to
dress and eat our nightly breakfast, then countinued with observations
until dawn.
The sky was below average and the meteors were also rare. Thirty-six were
recorded in 2.4 hours teff. The most numerous were the Perseids and the
Antihelion meteors with five meteors each, followed by the Southern Delta
Aquarids with four and Alpha Capricornids with two members. No meteor
brighter than magnitude 0 was seen.

Clear skies!
Javor
