(meteorobs) Recent meteor actibvity

[James Beauchamp]

Chris, Bill, and list, 
I compiled last night's hits here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKIXUivDmyo
Hopefully, the fun will continue.
Regards,

Similar results here. For the last week from one camera:

October Ursa Majorid   OCU   3
epsilon Geminid   EGE   17
Orionid   ORI   77
S Taurid   STA   13
N Taurid   NTA   16
Sporadic   SPO   54

Total meteors: 180

A number of the sporadics are shower members that were excluded by the 
single station radiant analyzer. These results are pretty much typical 
for what I see every year at this time. There have been some nice 
fireballs this week:

http://www.cloudbait.com/meteor/data.php?recnum=43761
http://www.cloudbait.com/meteor/data.php?recnum=43783

Two of these were sporadic, two were Orionids. Again, pretty typical for 
this time of year.

With this many showers going on, it is not surprising fireball rates should show a bump during this week.
