(meteorobs) AKM video observations 12/99
Observing Times of the German AKM Video Cameras - December 1999
================================================================
Since March 1999, a number of video meteor cameras are regularly operated
by members of the German 'Arbeitskreis Meteore'. The systems work fully
autonomously with the MetRec meteor detection software.
Here are the results for December 1999. Wereas a few observations could
be carried out in the first part of the months, the weather was extremely
poor in the second half. So the coverage of meteor activity in December is
worse than in other months. Also during the Geminind maximum the sky was
mainly overcasted almost in Germany, but 'AKM guest observer' Stephen
Evans in Suffolk/UK had a little more luck.
In the first ten month of automatic video observations an overall of
5 AKM observers recorded 6451 video meteors in 120 nights and 996.4 h
effective observing time. A more detailled analysis will follow.
