(meteorobs) Narrative from Recife (May)
Hello Enthusiasts,
It seems to go a little bit late. Anyway, all that I
could observe intended for the month, I mean May, was mostly
obtained in urban area. I do understand that it was quite impossible for me
to get any better results concerning to Leo (my preferred) and any other
reported shower in the Report. Too much light pollution as well as
Winter.
Basically, as I couldn't leave from my site (urban area) to
the in rural area one, the final results for this month was meaningless. Anyway,
the big Lunar Eclipse was very well accepted in almost the whole country. It was
due to the good weather conditions in some States . So, having nothing to
related, even the wonderful lunar elipse (important), but a bit an off
topic subject for meteors enthusiasts, but, unfortunately,
around here in Recife, PE, even being aware, I got rains for almost two
days long during the eclipse period. This made me impossible to get any relevant
observation on the expected phenomenon.
Although, again, even pleasently observing the skies, I also
couldn't get anything. This due and mostly after the days the rain period
stopped, which was right now ( mean in about two weeks ago). Regarding to
Leo (SPO) and/or any other relevant meteor as contained in the guiding report,
effortless.
Moreover, getting no good results, I could observe the
skies from my (urban) view site, which delighted me alot just by seen the stars
(Milky Way). Anyway, nothing important to report. After that, even being in the
same site for all month long, I could get a wonderful 15 days (two weeks), that
were basically the end of May that I admit that they were very nice. To conclude
I'd like to inform that I all that I could observe means an off topic
subject, since any meteor was not observed. So, I conclude this narrative
as following:
Meteors: nothing;
Weather: mostly all month long cloudy and rainy;
Regarding to lunar eclipse: rainy night (after 11UT00, good weather
conds.);
Obs.: After 12UT00, I took a ride around some city places with a
friend, but nothing important to mention except for a kind of different color in
the skies (almost haze), and heavy, but sparse clouds.
Regarding to any relevant phenomen: nothing
Conclusion: The month of May was plenty of nice ephemerides. But the
weather contidions(Winter), sounded to be determinant to obtain relevant
astronomical results.
Clear skies,
