(meteorobs) JBO Iowa

[Paul Martsching]

I went out 23/24 (Tuesday/Wednesday) for three hours.  When I arrived at my usual observing site, there was quite a bit of cirrus, so I waited a half hour to begin observing.  I saw two JBO's in three hours.  Only saw two meteors during the first hour.  From the weather forecasts it seems unlikely that it will be clear any nights nearer the JBO peak night.
