(meteorobs) Quadrantids Observations From Malta (03/04-01-2000)
Hi all,
Clear Skies Prevailed over the Maltese Islands but the night was cold and
windy . This determined the lack of observations by most of the local
members including the "die-hard" observers, with the exception of ZAMJO
who managed to submit this 86 minute observation from Siggiewi.
This is also the first known Meteor observation for this year from Malta
