(meteorobs) Observation Aug 17/18: slow
Hi!
Yesterday I observed under awful conditions. In the last month
there was only one rainy day and the sky is really hazy and
washed out in the lowlands. My limiting magnitude was just under
6.0 and the meteors just wouldn't come. My first meteor was a +4
sporadic TWENTYEIGHT minutes into the session. The next 30
minutes were more productive, giving 8 meteors for the first period
in total. The second period was as slow as the first with 8 meteors.
Best meteor of the night was a beautiful orange sparkling +1 Kappa
Cygnid that went slowly through Camelopardalis.
Oh yeah, there were mosquitoes, too :(
Clear skies!
