(meteorobs) Draconids from Spain: UCM group

[Francisco Ocaña]

Hello list,

the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) group joined the efforts of 
the SPanish Meteor Network (SPMN) to monitor the Draconids outburst. We 
launched a high altitude balloon from the centre of Spain and observed 
them from Sierra Nevada Observatory (2900m) and other SPMN stations. The 
observations were a success although the probe stopped working at much 
lower altitude than expected.

The preliminary results are published at:

Congratulations to the forecasters and all the observers around the 
world! And many thanks for all of your suggestions about the balloon!
