(meteorobs) Observations May 20/21 and 21/22: nothing special...
Hi!
Here's the report for my two recent observations. It looks like
I'll do some more as the weather forecast is great - at least three
more clear days.
On May 20/21 I observed for an hour. I actually didn't plan to observe
but after the rain showers the sky cleared and it was one of those
crystal clear nights, so I went out. In 1 hour I saw 9 meteors, which
is just about what I expected from the not-quite dark sky.
On May 21/22 I observed for an hour and a half, I initially planned
for two hours, but some cirrus clouds rolled in, reducing LM down
to around +5.0 I saw 13 meteors, among which was my 1000th
meteor this year - a +3.5 sporadic in Hercules. The best of the
two nights was a slow +1.5 yellow sporadic on a 30 degree path on
May 20/21.
Here are the summaries:
