(meteorobs) Observation November 02/03, 2008 from Slovenia

[Javor Kac]

Hi,

Last Sunday I observed with Jure from our popular observing location. The
night started with clear sky. However, after 30 minutes the clouds started
to drift in. Still we could observe for about 1.5 hours Teff with some
breaks when the clooud cover became too severe.
The Taurids were bright this night as they produced two fireballs. The
first was a -5. magnitude blue-green meteor low in the east at 23:39 UT.
The second one was seen through the clouds when packing at 00:08 UT. The
first guess at magnitude -4 was correct as I later confirmed the fireball
in the Rezman Observatory allsky camera records.

Clear skies!
Javor
