(meteorobs) May 21/22, 22/23 observations



Hi,

The last few days have been quite ideal for observing with a constant 
clear blue sky. It looks promising again for the next few days. Here
below are results from the nights of May 21/22 (1.53 teff) and 22/23
(3.23 teff). I had to observe only from my backyard. Activity is quite 
low right now. I did see some leftover Eta Aquarids and Gamma 
Capricornid  the first night. The nicest meteor was a -2 fast ETA on 
a 30d path. 

The second night was slower with no shower activity, only sporadics.
Many short faint ones. One brighter -1 was seen shooting from the 
south.
