(meteorobs) Observations August 24-28, 2009 from Slovenia

[Javor Kac]

I was at another astronomical camp from August 24 to 28. Although we had
mostly clear nights, I could only devote a couple of short periods to
meteor observing.

On August 24 I only observed 9 minutes Teff with one Antihelion and four
sporadic meteors noted.

On August 25 I managed about two hours of observations, spread over three
and a half hours. I was surprised by the number of Alpha Aurigids that I
saw this night!
