Remarks

2th night  of the meteor camp. First night from the Provence. I waited till clouds from old thunderstorms disappeared. Observing conditions made quickly progress after 0 UT; so I was able to observe for 2.67 hours till dawn. Moderate meteor activity. Increasing Delta Aquarid activity, but the Capricornids were nearly absent. Many weak sporadics.


Kind regards, 

Michel.
