(meteorobs) OCT meteors in the evening Oct. 5.

[Esko Lyytinen]

In this image (link below) there is one OCT that is around the fireball 
limit in absolute brightness,  in a 2 minute peak-hold image from my 
camera in Helsinki.
Actually I now see that this was a 3-station meteor. Did not notice this 
earlier, that this was 3-station and not only 2-station. This affects 
the previously told (individual meteor) counts.
Happened at 17:04:02 UT.
Another one of close to the same absolute brightness came about 9 
minutes later. And this was the 2-station meteor, that was in some doubt 
if actually connected to OCT.

> There are 22 suspect OCT trails and three of these were two station
> meteors leaving the assumed meteor count to 19.
> One of the two station meteors had the radiant so much (something like 5
> or 10 degrees) aside that not so sure if OCT.
> Of this count 12 were before 18:03  and 10 were during one hour, making
> it quite probable that most of these belonged to the expected OCT maximum.
