Remarks :
-excellent observing conditions. A strong
High pressure system above Scandinavia is responsible for clean and dry
(but colder) air. The temperature went down to 2°C. Frost on the ground.
Blocking weather patterns over West Europe ; strong High pressure systems keep
the atlantic depression "circus" away from Western Europe...
-I saw one Giacobinid at 01.02 UT in
Andromeda.
-Two early ; but bright Orionids !
-Taurids were good active ! Already up to 3 stream
members an hour.
-High sporadic rates. The apex was quite active
this night.
Many kind regards ! Hoping to catch a Giacobinid
this night.
