(meteorobs) More Observations From Malta 13-14 / 11 / 1999
Hi,
After Yesterday's thunderstorm , the night sky miraculously cleared out and
crispy clear skies were enjoyed by the lucky observers at Ras Il Qammieh .
Unfortunately high humidity and a thin layer of haze made observations for
some hours impossible.
We managed to observe Linearids (possible ? ), N Taurids , S Taurids and
Leonids.
