(meteorobs) March 24/25...
Greetings all!
Finally got a clear night up here, after our 20 cm. of snow this past weekend...
Headed out south of the Ottawa airport on Tuesday night, the 24/25th. Got
in about 6 hours teff, at a temperature of about -13C (8F). Limiting
magnitude, for me, was about 5.7 most of the night.
Activity was very slow. Saw 10 meteors in just over 6 hours teff, from
17.00 UT to 23.30 UT. Plotted 7 of them. Saw one very pretty Virginid,
slow bluish-white, mag. 2, about 15 degrees long. Rest of my plots seem to
be sporadics. I didn't see anything from the Gemini area.
Report and plots will be sent to Mark Davis at NAMN...
