EMO Sandia All-sky Leonid Report
Courtenay, B.C. Canada
Longitude: 125 deg 00' 36" W Latitude: 49 deg 40' 37" N
Date: 16 November 2000
A Sandia Labs All-sky Patrol Camera was operating at the above location
from 07:20 UT to 14:30 UT. Depending on the velocity and colour of a meteor
this unit should detect most meteors brighter than -2.0 magnitude, all
meteors brighter than -3.0 magnitude. Jupiter is recorded very well at -2.7
magnitude with this unit.
Detections recorded on November 16, 2000
Time: 11:28:57 UT
Magnitude: ~ -5.0 magnitude possibly brighter as it was detected near the
bright moon.
Fast meteor, probably a Leonid
Around 11:36 UT intermittent bands of clouds interfered at times. This
problem persisted until morning. The video tape was monitored until 14:30
UT. Only one more meteor was recorded on this tape.
Time: 13:21:51 UT
Magnitude: ~ -5.0 short and fast probable Leonid.
No sporadic meteors were recorded during this session.
Note: The EMO patrol camera is part of the Sandia All-Sky Camera Bolide
Detection Network. Meteors recorded by this network are listed at:
