(meteorobs) Meteor Obs. Feb. 25/26 - Mathias, WVa

     Screech Owl Hill Observatory, Mountain Meadows

                   February 25/26, 2012

We had partly couudy, and windy and cold conditions until
after 7:00 UT, when it became all claer and less windy.
The conditions were less nasty, but there was a windchill
near 0 degrees F. when I managed to get a couple hours of
meteor observing in from 7:28 to 9:28 UT. Meteors activity
was higher than expected. Although all meteors were recorded
as either Antihelion or Sporadic, there were a few Sporadics
that could have come from possible radiants near Scorpius,
and the Bootid Corona Borealid Complex (IAU Shower #332).
