(meteorobs) Perseids Aug 12/13 from RBK, Slovenia
Hi again!
The second night was a real contrast to the first. There was no
wind at all and it felt like being somewhere in the tropics when
compared to the night before. The nighttime temperatures were still
well below 0°C as my sleeping bag was covered with frost in the
morning.
The weather again played some games with us. There were some
thin cirrus clouds present until the moonrise, occasionally allowing
us to see stars dimmer than +6.5 but sometimes also prevented
from viewing any deeper than +5.6. We were fortunate enough to
see the clouds rolling to the east thus covering the Moon for an
hour. The sky then remained clear until sunrise.
Perseid rates were a bit higher than yesterday but the meteors
were less bright. The fireballs came from Perseids (2), Kappa
Cygnids(1) and sporadics (1). There was an enhancement of bright
Perseids in the dawn hours - my last half-hor period had a -5 PER
and two -2 PER. We casually watched for some minutes after the
official observation and were greeted by a few more fireball class
Perseids.
Clear skies!
Javor.
