(meteorobs) Ursid obs LANMA (Europe) 21-22 dec 2000
Folks,
Nice Ursid rates over Europe last night. I observed from Voorschoten (the
Netherlands) from 3:22 UTC untill twilight at 6:15 UTC with Lm at +6.3 and a
mild frosty -2.5 C. Table with data below.
Ursids were well recognizable, but not out of the ordinary. Towards the end
of the night, perhaps some indication of slightly rising rates. A quick very
preliminary calculation with my data gives ZHR's in the order of ~10 while
starting observ ations, and ZHR ~20 when ending observations. I plotted
during the larger part of the night but switched to using tape recorder only
at 5:15 UTC. Best meteor was a yellow -2 Ursid at 4:38:48 UTC.
