(meteorobs) June Bootids 1999



Hey!

   Probably every meteor observer is preparing for the upcoming June Bootid shower.  The circumstances this year aren't exactly good. The moon is full at the time of the shower. So, supposed that it reaches the same activity level as in 98 (ZHR around 130), what can we expect? The shower is rich in faint meteors, so even a major event could go largely unnoticed with the full moon hanging in the sky.
And what are the chances of another strong return? The previous strong returns were followed by almost nonexistent activity...

Clear skies!
