(meteorobs) Ursids



I observed the night of Dec 22/23 2002 from 600 pm - 815 pm CST 
(2400-215 UT Dec 23).  Facing North.  Limiting magnitude ~5.5 at 600 pm 
CST improving to 6.2 by 630 pm and remaining at 6.2 till 740 when the 
Moon rose and the limiting magnitude worsened to about 5.5 at 800 and 
5.0 at 815 pm CST.  The Moon rose rather far North and seemed to be 
affecting the sky rather badly.  I saw 10 Ursids, 4 Chi 
Orionids/Antihelion (-2 two, -1 one, 0 one) and 4 sporadics (+1 one, +2 
one, +3 two).  Six of the Ursids occurred between 705 and 720 pm CST.
