(meteorobs) Observations Feb 13/14 + fireball



The alarm clock got it right this time...
I got 	teff between 2 am and 6 am this morning, with a long
break between 3:20 and 4:35 because of increased cloud cover.
The activity was... ...strong. Very strong during the second period.
There were two instances of near simultaneous sporadics and
a series of three sporadics in three seconds including a -4 fireball
with a brief terminal burst. Looks like this was the final observation
before this week's full moon.
The summary:

Period		  teff	LM		SPO		TOT
01:05-02:20 UT   1.08	6.39		15		15
03:35-04:51 UT   1.11	6.46		26		26
		 2.19			41		41			

Magnitude distribution:
SPO	-4(1) -1(0.5) 0(1) +1(3) +2(6.5) +3(15) +4(6) +5(8) 	AVE: +3.01

The average magnitude this morning is somewhat higher than usual
( between +3.4 and +3.7).

Clear skies!
