[Koen Miskotte]

Hi Mikhail,
During the period of 18:50 and 19:26 UT (7 oktober) I could observe under 
very poor conditions (Lm 5.3-5.5, with haevy fog). No Draconids were seen, 
just a +1 bluewhite sporadic, +3 sporadic, a nice +3  earthgrazing delta 
Aurigid with train and a +4 sporadic. Because of the fog I had to stop 
after 45 minutes....
Best wishes,
Koen
