(meteorobs) June 06/07 observations



   I  took advantage of  clearing skies last night to begin my
sporadic observations for June.  Hazy summer skies have returned here
recently, but a nice clear opening appeared just in time Sunday over
east
central Ga, with the resulting obs posted below.
     Considering the time of night, the meteor rates weren't too
disappointing. Several colorful, bright meteors made up for the slower
rates.  One beautiful aqua-colored  -1 mag meteor blazed at *least* 50
degrees across the sky from east to west.  The session ended with a
gorgeous bluish +1 SAG that also had an extended path length.
