(meteorobs) Ursid Outburst: prelim. ZHR diagrams



Hi folks,

Some first preliminary ZHR diagrams of the Ursid event of 22 December can be
seen at URL:

http://homes.dsldot nl/~marcolan/ursY2K.html

It features two diagrams. One shows rates as seen by Carl Johannink and me
from the Netherlands. Rates start to rise rather suddenly after 4:30 UTC.

The other shows combined results of Carl and me from Europe, and Peter
Jenniskens from California, USA. Rising rates in our data, declining rates
in Peter's. Unfortunately, a gap right at where the peak should be, but the
trends suggest a peak near 7:30 UTC indeed, as predicted by Peter and Esko,
with peak rates (interpolated) probably around ZHR ~75.

Cheers,
