George and Bob,
    Though I have tried repeatedly  to post my "Bootid-peak" night's
observation to the list, it just doesn't seem to go through. I thought
you both might be interested in seeing it, however, so here is the
narrative/report.
*******************************************************************************************

     Despite my reluctance to go out tonight due to another round of
sub-freezing
temps, I was rewarded nonetheless for my efforts.  Had it not been for
the desire
to get consecutive night coverage of the Xi Bootids, I would have just
stayed home.
I would have missed out.
     The rates remained strong and this was a bit of a surprise. The
skies were crystal clear.
In fact, I was a bit shocked to count 26 stars in Leo during one count
1st period, for a brief
LM of +6.81, the highest I have yet to record.  I was at that time able
to see a faint star
near Regulus I'd never counted before.  That was another surprise.
     The Xi Bootids put on a most impressive performance.  A whopping 10
candidates crossed
a possible radiant plotted near 14hr11min +16.  The last period, with
Bootes near zenith, saw
4 candidates.  This pleasing result proved to be surprise #3.  I used an
area of only 6 degrees diameter to construct the radiant.
     The best surprise of all, however, was a slow fireball that came
from the direction of
Virgo towards the ENE horizon at 07:58 UT, only eight minutes into my
observation.  The
distinctly aqua colored meteor quickly reached a brightness of -5/-6
then ended with a burst
that was at least -7.  The wake/trail was plainly visible in the glow of
the fireball. No
sounds or persistent train were noted. This has to be among the top four
most memorable
fireballs I have seen!

Remarks: I accidentally labeled meteors 26 and 27 both "DS."

Meteor 3 was a -7 fireball, bluish green.  It quickly ramped
up to a brightness of -5/-6 then had a terminal burst that made it
to at least -7.  The wake was visible in the fireball's glow.
It had a path length of about 25 degrees, ans was somewhat slow,
maybe 10 degrees per second.

Xi Bootids: I have a "very good/excellent" confidence level
on all meteors plotted as XBO's, with the exception of meteors
DZ (speed of 4 near radiant) and DDA, the path length of which
MAY be a bit long, though I am not so confidant in my ability
to plot beginning and end points.  DDA had the correct speed.

Accuracy scale(1-5) 1/best 2/good 3/fair 4/poor  5/worst

<p><tt>Remarks: I accidentally labeled meteors 26 and 27 both "DS."</tt><tt></tt>
<p><tt>Meteor 3 was a -7 fireball, bluish green.&nbsp; It quickly ramped</tt>
<br><tt>up to a brightness of -5/-6 then had a terminal burst that made
it</tt>
<br><tt>to at least -7.&nbsp; The wake was visible in the fireball's glow.</tt>
<br><tt>It had a path length of about 25 degrees, ans was somewhat slow,</tt>
<br><tt>maybe 10 degrees per second.</tt><tt></tt>
<p><tt>Xi Bootids: I have a "very good/excellent" confidence level</tt>
<br><tt>on all meteors plotted as XBO's, with the exception of meteors</tt>
<br><tt>DZ (speed of 4 near radiant) and DDA, the path length of which</tt>
<br><tt>MAY be a bit long, though I am not so confidant in my ability</tt>
<br><tt>to plot beginning and end points.&nbsp; DDA had the correct speed.</tt><tt></tt>
<p><tt>Accuracy scale(1-5) 1/best 2/good 3/fair 4/poor&nbsp; 5/worst</tt></html>
