(meteorobs) OCA:s active right now

[Bill Godley]

Esko,

I have been busy traveling for a few days and due to lack of sleep cannot do any useful watching.  I have found when I am too tired it is pointless to watch for meteors and any data would be suspect.

Anyhow, after reading your note I did take an informal peek outside for about 20 minutes centered on 07:00 UT.  I noticed possibly one faint OCA, but no more significant activity.

Maybe someone (named Paul?) was watching from here in the Central US and can give you some actual useful data.

Thanks for keeping all of us informed.

Hi,

It was clouded here in Helisinki last night but Jarmo Moilanen captured 
several OCA's probaly about 6 or more, some are yet uncertain.
Because of daylight coming early as compared to the expected timing, 
these were early OCA's. The latest recorded by jarmo was at 03:02 UT .
According to my radio data by just looking the screen, the acticity was 
only about starting when Jarmo recorded the meteors and the activity is 
going right now.
I can not tell if it is still rising. If not, then the maximum came 
early to the time given.

I am leaving to Ursa meteor section yearly meeting to Arjärvi in about 
one hour and a half and stay there till tomorrow. I don't know if I will 
read my email there.

Esko
