(meteorobs) informal Draconids

[Richard Kramer]

In Central New Hampshire, USA, Friday night, beginning at approx 0300 
8 October 2016 UTC, I was casually watching the night sky with some 
friends. LM was very good, probably better than 6. The only sky 
access available was by standing/lying in the middle of a quiet, 
country road, leaving us with about 70% obscuration. During a little 
over half an hour, we saw two very beautiful Draconids, mag -2 and 
mag 0. They were both seen during the first 5 or 7 minutes. None were 
seen during the balance of the time.  Either we were very lucky, or 
GIA rates were enhanced this year.
