(meteorobs) Check of the tau-Herculids on May, 31st

[Karl Antier]

Hi all !

I also checked for possible tau-Herculids from 21h 10 to 22h 10 UT from
Breuillet (48.567°N, 2.167°E) , france, on May, the 31st.
The sky was far from from being perfect, with a lm of approximatively 5,
and many thin cirrus, that reflected the lights of neighbouring towns
(one of them being Paris...).
Nothing unusual was reported concerning the tau-Herculids, as none was seen.

But a nice -4 fireball that fragmented in three or four pieces agremented the
short period of observation. Quite a nice show, after such a long time without
observing !

Hope some of us will have more chance !

Clear skies !
Karl
