enumeration starts in the 20/02/2003 session
all coordinates in mm from the lower left corner of the map
The time of #16 is only estimated as I forgot to look on my watch.
velocity scale:
1 - very slow; 2 - slow; 3 - medium; 4 - fast; 5 - very fast
Comments:
I actually missed the best show as there was one meteor before I
started teh observing period and two shortly after ending it, of
which one was a -2mag that crossed the sky low to the horizon
from south-east to north-east.
Meteor #14 would be a perfect Virginid as the extended plot goes
directly through the VIR radiant, but it appeared quite near to
the radiant (meteor length is about as long as the distance from
the radiant to the meteor starting point) and rather fast, which
is not typical for Virginids and unusual near the radiant.
