Hi all,
 
The meteor cameras of the NEMETODE network in the UK, operated by William Stewart (Ravensmoor, Cheshire) and Alex Pratt (Leeds, West Yorkshire) have confirmed the outburst of the September epsilon Perseids (SPE) on 2013 September 9-10.

Between 20:00 and 04:00 UTC the NEMETODE cameras recorded 23
 individual SPE meteors. A total of 14 SPEs were captured between 22:00 and 23:00 UTC, 3 of them were dual-station events. Capture and analysis were performed using SonotaCo's UFO program suite, with the following provisional results:

Solar Longitude of peak outburst, 167.2.

The 3 dual-station SPE meteors had absolute magnitudes -2.9, -2.7 and -1.0.

An average Vg of 64.6 km/s with a standard deviation of 4.8.

The radiant (corrected for Zenithal Attraction) was at RA 49.3 Dec  39.4.

Orbital elements:
a        8.494
q        0.708
e        0.917
p        24.763
peri    247.698
node  167.190
incl    140.018


Best regards,

     Alex Pratt, William Stewart

of the SPanish Meteor Network 
(www.spmn.uji.es) operated by different colleagues around Spain, that 
the activity outburst over Europe is 
associated with the Epsilon Perseids. We also detected a minor outburst 
of this radiant on 2012, but this 
year's activity has been much stronger and exhibiting bright fireballs.  Cheers,
