(meteorobs) Leonids, 2000.11.17/18 (preliminary report), SARM-Romania
Hi to all,
Here are the preliminary report of our Leonid results for the night
2000.11.17/18 in Tragoviste.
I observed with a team of 11 students and pupils from Targoviste
and around.
Good sky, bright moonlight. Good activity. It presented short
outbursts sometimes with 3 or 4 meteors in a minute or just in 20-
30 sec. Clear sky untill 1:26 UT when, suddenly, an unespected
fog appeared for ... 9 hours :-(
And this was the end of our observations just in a full activity of
Leonids.
Clouded skies in other 3 SARM observational centers in Romania.
No report till now from other SARM active centers.
