(meteorobs) Observation September 23/24, 2006 from Slovenia

[Javor Kac]

Hi All,

The night of September 23 was quite clear so I had planned a two-
hour observation. I started at 1 am local time but the clouds 
coming from the south forced me to finish earlier.
The meteor activity was somewhat low, perhaps due to fatigue. The 
observation started great with 7 meteors recorded in 14 minutes. 
During the rest of the first period only two more meteors were seen. 
The second (shorter) period was a bit more active with ten meteors 
in total.
No bright meteors were seen. The only notable meteor appeared 
just before I ended the observations. It was a twin meteor, the first 
was a +3rd magnitude in Perseus with a 20-deg train. The second 
one, a +4th magnitude meteor in Auriga and Camelopardalis of 
equal length that apperared and disappeared simultaneously with 
the first one. The angle between meteors was about 30 degrees 
and the radiant for the pair would be in the western part of Gemini 
or northern part on Monoceros. Really interesting, indeed!

Clear skies!
Javor
