REMARKS:
- I observed no new members of the "Psi Cygnids" or "Alfa
Cygnids".
- This night ; stream meteors were very limited.
Only one single Perseid, Aquarid, and a spectacular +1
Capricornid. The sporadic rates were good in the second interval.
- Moderate observing conditions : hazy conditions in the
beginning ; second interval was much better with LM 6.40. above 30 degrees.
-No northern light was seen in this region after an interplanetary
shock wave of a CME hit the earth at 14.41 UT yesterday afternoon. (solar wind
was to thin and Bz pointed not enough southward..)
