Night report August 7/8 Marco Langbroek, the Netherlands
Good morning everybody,
Below my data of last night. This night more or less fizzled. It started
all well with a nice sky, but after some time the limiting magnitude
decreased, became slightly variable, and we received distorting calls from
the stations to the east of us that they were clouded out. Around 2:15 am
local time, the cirrus intruded and persisted untill well into morning
twilight.
Well, still seen some nice meteors that made the night worthwhile. A nice
yellow -2 Perseid at 22:01:28 UT and a nice -1 sporadic at 23:40:28 for
example. And a rather nice share of delta Aquarids. A +2 Capricornid made
the typical long sloooooooow traject low in the sky.
Early in the night, we saw the Mir passing over (twice), again followed by
another object but this time at a much larger distance than the previous
night. The second object was slightly variable so we suspect it was one of
the rocket stages.
Best wishes,
-Marco.
