> Hello,
>
> just spoke with Marco Langbroek who, together with five other members of
the
> DMS, is in Safford (AZ) right now. They had a marvellous night with high
> rates immediately after the radiant rised above the horizon.
> Rates highest between 10:30 and 10:40 UT with probably a ZHR , fitting
well
> with the predictions of Lyytinen & Van Flandern : Marco mentioned '2000'
but
> this isn't based on 'hard facts' yet, he admitted.
> It was a broad maximum with many bright meteors, NOT like 1998 nov. 16/17,
> but many meteors with negative magnitudes up to -4 or -5 , some of them
> leaving nice trains.
> Weather was fine, with LM up to 6.9 , although there was much cirrus
before
> the radiant rised.
> Fortunately this cirrus disappeared when LEO appeared above the horizon,
> leaving a clear and transparent sky.
