(meteorobs) N. Taurid Meteors 11/12-13/98--M.Mikutis



Hello:

I observed for 3 hrs Teff on 11/12-13/98 from 03:15 UT to 06:15 UT. Skies
were quite clear for a change thanks to a high pressure system moving
through. Limiting mag. 5.8  Observed a total of 10 NTA meteors and 6 SPO's
during this time. The brightest was a -7 sporadic---possibly an early
Leonid which I reported as a fireball. The brightest NTA was -1.0 The
majority fell in the mag 1.0 distribution. Also noticed a SPO with a
curved/hooked flight path--probably an optical illusion. Hopefully will
observe again tonight if skies remain clear.

Clear Skies,

Mark Mikutis
