(meteorobs) AKM Video Observation Results October 2002
Results of the AKM Video Meteor Network - October 2002
======================================================
There is not much to say about October. Thanks to the high sporadic activity,
the Orionids and Taurids the meteor activity is pleasant. Also the nights are
long again in the northern hemisphere, but the rainy weather allowed only for
a few observations at many sites in central Europe. In this case you are
served best with an automatic camera as in preparation by Joerg Strunk, which
can utilize even the smallest cloud gaps, but so far the system is not
operational yet.
Farther south at the Canaries the weather was better but also far from perfect.
At the southern hemisphere, Steve Quirk enjoyed best observing conditions as
always. His observing series has only a one week gap in the second part of
October. So Steve managed again to collect almost 200 hours of observing time
even though the nights are getting shorter now in Australia.
Good luck to all of you for the Leonids!
