(meteorobs) Observations August 16/17 from Slovenia
Hi!
I observed again for two hours from Pohorje Mountain.
The activity started really strong. Only four minutes into the
session appeared the highlight of the night - an orange -5 sporadic
fireball that I first noticed when it was just above the trees and then
continued flying for another 20 degrees during which it flashed three
times, each time giving off a few fragments (more like sparks),
about 10-15 in total. Only 30 seconds after a beautiful -1 Perseid
flashed between Cepheus and Cassiopeia making it the fourth
meteor in just under five minutes of observations!
Then the activity slowed and no more memorable meteors were
seen until just before the end of the session. The half-hour period
from 2244 to 2316 only had two meteors. Three minutes before I
stopped, there was a -2 Perseid low in southwestern skies.
Kappa Cygnids were almost nonexistent, only 2 were seen during
the fisrt perion and none in the second. This rates are even lower
than two night ago.
Have any of you witnessed any higher activity from KCGs?
Clear skies!
