(meteorobs) Active Non-Ursids 12-22/23-00
I had an enjoyable but cold post-Ursid peak observation last
night. Under LM +6.3 - 6.4, I had two+ hours of Teff in which overall
rates were 22 and 21 meteors each period, from 07:47 - 10:00 UT. The
Ursids made a slight showing but the SPO's, or non-Ursids, were the
real treat. Like Jure, many of my meteors were faint. There was a
burst of 6 meteors in less than three minutes at around 8:20UT. Many of
the brighter meteors had trains and were fast.
I haven't used my meteor kit for some time now and when I opened it
I found quite a mess -- my bug lotion had flipped and emptied its
contents on my charts! They were unusable. The only radiant I had
checked had been the Ursids, so my observation had to become one of
Ursids vs.all others. In the 19 degree cold, I was all too happy to
forgo plotting in any event!
I'll try to post a short summary as soon as write my report.
