(meteorobs) video meteor observations May 2000



Results of the AKM Video Meteor Network - May 2000
======================================================

May has demonstrated that our video network still needs to be improved. Even 
though the weather was almost perfect in the first half of the month with 
nature being several weeks ahead of it's time thanks to many sunshine hours,
we obtained only little meteor data in these days. The reason: All active 
video observers were on holiday!
We were able to operate a camera in two nights during the eta-Aquarids
meteor camp in Jordan. The largest shower of the southern hemisphere
was responsible for the increased meteor numbers on May 4 and 5. In the
remaining nights the activity stayed very low with only 5 meteors recorded
on average in two hours observing time. Still, in May 2000 we obtained 
significantly more data than in the year before.
