Re: (meteorobs) Aug 31/Sept 1 Meteor Observations From California
Dear Robert,
I maybe saw the same activity of my observation on August 31/1. I was
not able to detect a radiant, but two meteors were flying from around
the top of left hand of ORION. These were rapid, bright(Mag=0 and -1)
and remain train. I feel like a minor shower activity during
observation. I'm going to search a NMS radiant list, when I come home.
Clear skies, Takema.
