(meteorobs) Taurids 31 october/1 november 2015

[Koen Miskotte]

hello again!

Last night 31 october/1 november 2015 I was also able to observe. Between 18:37 and 21:38 UT I observed during 3.00 hours effective observing time.

Location: Ermelo, the Netherlands. I counted 24 meteors of which 10 were Taurids.
Unfortunately no fireballs as reported from Poland and Slovenia.


Taurid distribution:


0 1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 1 3 0

All bright Taurids had a beautiful orange color. Many long trails because of the still low radiant height.
It was striking that just like the observations of previous night,  two minutes after the start again a bright Taurid was seen (magnitude +1).
 
The ZHR was similar to yesterday: ZHR around 12. (assuming population index r  2 and CP 1.2).
14.02 ~ 8.09 (radiant height 20 degrees)
12.31 ~ 6.16 (radiant height 29 degrees)
  9.22 ~ 5.33 (radiant height 37 degrees)
Large deviation caused by low limiting magnitude and low radiant height.

Best regards, Koen
