(meteorobs) Near Pointer Photographed(Lyrid)
In a recent post, I was talking about photographing what appeared visually as
a point meteor awhile back that appeared very short on a photograph. I didn't
realize that it was a -3 Lyrid until I was looking at it closely to get the
coordinates etc. Anyhow, It was photographed on the night of april 21/22,
1998. It appeared very close to the Lyrid radiant. The begin and end
coordinates for the meteor was:
Begin: RA: 18h20m, Dec. +33.4 deg.
End: RA: 18h22m, Dec +33.4 deg.
The Lyrid radiant is given as: RA 18h04m, Dec. +34deg
