Dear friends,

1.6 hour observation last night, september 14, from 1H06 to 2H42 UT.
Sky quite enough hazy above the horizon, LM 5.3-5.4.
Saw only 6 SPO. 3 of them came in the same minute at 2H03 from a same
radiant located somewhere near Beta Camelopardalis (mag 3, 3 and 2).
A good candidate for Taurids came à 1H27 UT : mag 4, speed about 2/3 the
speed of the LEO, lenght about 7-8°, possibly coming from the "S&T radiant".
Another (not so serious) candidate came at 1H42 UT : mag 3, speed like a
PER, lenght about 2-3°, coming from the area around Pleiades, and appeared
near Capella.

I drew a map with these two meteors (file 5Ko GIF), please ask if needed.

IMO code MARCH
