(meteorobs) September 12/13 1998 observation



Hello,

I observed a number of nights this last month. Here are my summaries,
starting here with the night of Sept 12/13. I observed 2 hours teff
from the Meier's residence (west of Ottawa) during a picnic/starparty. 
The sky was quite dark prior to moonrise (LM=6.5), then gradually 
brightened to 6.3 as I signed off at 4:45 UT. The Piscids produced 
only 2 meteors and the rest were sporadics. One of the Piscids was a 
nice white mag 0 that moved on a 15 degree path. Nothing indicated
the presence of activity near Triangulum-Aries.
