(meteorobs) Observation Apr 12/13 1999
On Monday, April 12/13, I went out observing for 2 hours. Things were
mainly quiet with a few other observers and telescopes scattered around the
Casselman field. Clear skies had a limiting magnitude of about 6.2. I
plotted 11 meteors (2 Virginids, 9 sporadics). Both Virginids aligned with
the IMO radiant. Brightest meteor was a yellow/white magnitude 0 sporadic.
