(meteorobs) Observation July 5/6 from Slovenia
Hi All,
I have finally managed to get out and observe for the first time since
early January. It was great to be under (relatively) dark skies again!
Meteor activity was moderate, comparing well to my observations
two years back at about the same time. In 2000, I recorded 30
sporadics, 3 Sagittarids and 1 July Pegasid in 3.2 hours teff.
Yesterday I saw 23 sporadics, 2 Sagittarids and one each early
July Pegasid and Capricornid in 2.1 hours teff, under somewhat
darker skies.
I thought that the best meteor of the night was going to be a slow
+1 magnitude yellow sporadic that shot down through western
Ophiuchus just seconds after I started. But there was an even
better one to come. At 23:09 UT, a bluish (!) -1 Sagittarid traveled
slowly down from Cepheus into Camelopardalis. It dimmed below
magnitude 0 three times during its flight.
A very enjoyable night, which I hope to repeat tonight, if the
weather still permits.
Clear skies!
Javor
