(meteorobs) Linearids ,Taurids and Leonids From Malta 11-12 / 11 / 1999
More reports from Malta........
Although a small number of Linearids were observed no storm of any kind was
evident. Sky conditions were very good at first but slowly started to
deteriorate, with occasional clouds and a bit of haze.
We managed to observe Linearids , N Taurids , S Taurids and a few Leonids.
