(meteorobs) Draconids in Uzbekistan

[Mikiya Sato]

Dear all,

I am Mikiya Sato.
Yesterday, I came back to Japan from Draconids observation.
(I reported so late because of illness, sorry.)
Our team went to Uzbekistan, Maidanak Observatory, to observe from 
the 1st peak (around 17h UT) to the 2nd peak (around 20h-20h30m UT) 
of Draconids.

The 1st peak was not clear, because it was a little cloudy in 
our site. But I think that the peak mihgt exist.
Because the Draconids meteors started about 15h UT.
The quick look data of IMO actually looks such, after our results
 were added.

The 2nd peak was clearly detected. But our hourly rates were 
not so much because the horizontal altitude of RP was low, 
about 15 degrees.

We also carried out observation by video. 
But the analysis will take time.

Best wishes,
