(meteorobs) Sigma Hydrid Fireball

[Koen Miskotte]

Hello Robert,
Last Geminid campaign I was in Portugal with Michel Vandeputte, Roy Keeris, 
Peter van Leuteren, Sietse Dijkstra & Inneke Verkerken in order to escape 
bad weather in the Netherlands.  We had a splendid view on this impressive 
stream! We logged about 8- 12 hours and observed an impressive Geminid 
return.
We also noticed strange sigma Hydrid activity. We observed three fireballs 
of magnitude -4, -5 and even a nice All of them are photographed with 
several camera's.
When the pictures are online I will post a message.
Regards, Koen
