(meteorobs) Heads up for possible Phoenicid outbreak in a few minutes!

Tue Dec 2 06:15:50 EST 2014

Hi all....

preliminary results from last night (Brazil):

7 orbits from 9 stations (12 stations isn´t included yet!)

orbits are without deceleration (!) - only preliminary

Mean orbit

a= 2.631+-0,.260 AU

q= 0.982+-0.001 AU

e= 0.623+-0.039

peri= 8.699+-0.784 deg

node= 69.548+-0.071 deg

i= 5.971+-0.525 deg

amag average= -3.556 m

RA= 5.55+-2.09 deg

DEC= -26.58+-1.66 deg

vg= 8.90+-0.47 km/s

More results evening:-)

To Michel: i haven´t visual observation, because in Czech Republic was 
horrible weather last night - strong wind from north with ice everywhere, i 
had 20 cm long icicles on my cameras:-))

Best regards

Jakub Koukal
