(meteorobs) Radar Scatters look great - clouds :(

[Bill Godley]

James.
 
Visual observations were not ideal here near Coweta, about 100 miles to the northeast.  The moon was a problem of course, but, after moonset, high clouds were also a nuisance.  LM was 4.5 to maybe 4.8 or so.  Between 0815 and 0945 UT, I only saw 9 or 10 QUA meteors.  Brightest was -1.  Maybe there were lots of faint meteors I just could not see with the poor conditions.  I was thinking maybe the peak arrived earlier than predicted, but your results indicate I largely missed a pretty good show.
 
Post results to IMO database later.
 
Bill, Coweta

From the radar scatter spectrum plots, it looks like the shower started 0700Z and held about a 120 event per hour rate until 1200Z.  Lots of nice, overdense hits. 
But alas, Oklahoma City took on a cloud deck starting 0700Z  :( _______________________________________________meteorobs mailing listmeteorobs at meteorobs.orghttp://lists.meteorobs.org/mailman/listinfo/meteorobs
