(meteorobs) Observations 21, 22, 23, 24 Feb
Hello to everyone.
Its been a long time between posts, but here are a few of the observations
I've made this year.
These are the last 6.5 hours I've done over the last 4 nights. The hours
are mainly late evening and early morning due to work commitments this is
the only times I've been able to observe. Were looking forward to what is
supposed to be a run of 5-7 clear and fine days in Melbourne so there should
be lots more observing, esp over this weekend.
The observations are mainly t monitor the maximum of the Delta Leonids
before, during and after the maximum. The Virginids were also monitored
during this time too. The two other streams are the Theta Carinids and the
Beta Muscids (TCA and BMU respectively). These are two minor southern
streams which are active over the same period and well placed to observe.
The results below:

Not allot of activity from this stream noted, and just a little mixed
activity from the others.
If the weather holds out for tonight (there is supposed to be a weak cool
change which may bring some cloud) I hope to keep monitoring this stream and
the Virginids for activity.
Until then, clear skies, Adam Marsh.
