(meteorobs) Draconid observation October 8/9
Hi!
A bit late, but anyway. Jure, Javor and I observed on the night of
Draconid peak.
We tried to reach the darkest location within an hour's drive of
Ljubljana, and we wound up near the Crnivec mountain. We observed from a
clearing in the woods. The sky was quite good, there was some skyglow from
Ljubljana in the southwest, but there was thick fog in the north and east
so the sky was quite dark in those directions. LM reached 6.7. During the
last part of observations we had some trouble with fog and needed to make
several short breaks.
Javor and I observed one Draconid, I saw another possible one, but
listed it as a sporadic. The highlight of the session was a 0m yellow
fragmenting sporadic. Nothing else of particular importance to report.
