Omri Katz, an amateur astronomer from the Givatayim Observatory, managed to
spot 6 Draconid meteors visually between 21:00 and 21:25 UT this evening.
The observation was made from Ramat Gan, in the heart of the Tel Aviv
metropoline under heavily light polluted sky and partly cloudy as well.
Omri associated the meteors to the Draconids shower by the radiant
positiion in the sky. He did not record magnitudes but estimates that most
were approximately of magnitude 2-3 and one of them -1. The observation was
performed following the email of Bill Cooke which I (Shy Halatzi) forwarded
to our meteors division email list.

Best of luck to other observers,
Shy Halatzi
