(meteorobs) Observation July 29/30, 2009 from Slovenia

[Javor Kac]

On July 29 I started little before midnight and observed until dawn. About
4 hours ob observations yielded 119 meteors, almost the same number as the
night before. Southern Delta Aquariids were again the most active shower
with 36 meteors, followed by the Perseids with 17, Alpha Capricornids with
10, and Pisces Austrinids with 1 meteor.

Again, the Alpha Capricornids produced the brightest meteor of the night:
at 22h08m UT a nice yellow-green meteor in Perseus slowly brightened from
+1 to about -2 magnitude, ending with a terminal flare of -4 magnitude.

Clear skies!
