(meteorobs) Morning observations June 5/6: still no Arietids
Hi!
I observed this morning with only one objective - to see any possible
Arietids.
The limiting magnitude was pretty bad, I guess I wouldn't have observed had
it
not been for the Arietids.
The higlight was a swift yellow -2 sporadic shooting down past Gamma
Cygni.
There was also a very nice +0.5 slow orange sporadic on a 20 degrees path.
The last really good meteor was a +1.0 slow yellowgreen sporadic shooting
up
from the north, past Polaris on a 25 degrees path. Both slow meteors
lasted
3 seconds.
Tonight, there was no meteors that even came close to resembling an
Arietid...
The northern branch of apex produced two swift meteors, while the southern
branch produced none.
The summary:
Period F Lm teff SAG OSC DAR SPO TOT
23:18-00:18UT 1.00 5.79 0.95 0 0 0 11 11
00:18-01:18UT 1.00 5.82 0.96 0 0 0 9 9
01:18-01:30UT 1.00 5.45 0.20 0 0 0 1 1
2.11 0 0 0 21 21
Magnitude distribution:
SPO: -2(1) 0(0.5) +1(1.5) +2(6) +3(5.5) +4(3.5) +5(3)
The activity was obviously high for such a bad Lm. My overall impression is
that
the rates have started to improve.
Clear skies!!
