(meteorobs) More July observations (28/29, 30/31)
I made a couple of additional observations during the recent moon-free period. (July 29/30 was wiped out by a shower). These are counts (no plotting), so radiant associations were made in the field with a shoestring.
-----------
Brightest meteors:
1: Sporadic (magnitude -3, speed 2, wake) 10:29:42 UT on July 28/29. Radiant in Sagittarius/Scutum area?
2: CAP (magnitude -2, speed 1, green) 9:21:04 UT on July 28/29.
3: North Apex (magnitude -2, speed 4, ~ 4 seconds) 10:30:27 on July 30/31.
