(meteorobs) OCA:s active right now

[Pierre Martin]

Hi,

I was mostly clouded out last night, but had a brief "hole" between  
07:00-08:30 UT (sky conditions poor - never clearer than about 20%  
cloud cover in my field, and LM ranging from 5.0-6.0.).  But I was  
curious to find out if anything was going on.

I plotted all suspected meteors.  I have four or five *possible*  
OCA's!  Most were rather faint but the brightest of these reached mag  
0 with a brief wake.  I have to look at the plots more carefully to  
determine if they are indeed coming from a common radiant.

Clear skies,

Pierre Martin
